Wilson is a 6-foot-9, 205-pound power forward prospect who ranks as the No. 4 overall recruit in the class of 2025.
He plays at Holy Innocents Episcopal School.
Wilson dropped a July list of the top 12 schools that didn’t include BYU. Despite not being on the list, Wilson has continued to remain in contact with BYU’s staff, and on the first day of the recruiting period, BYU’s coaches were at his home.
The schools that were in Wilson’s top 12 at the time included Arkansas, Duke, North Carolina, Alabama, UCF, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Tennessee, Oregon, Kentucky, Ohio State, and USC.
Wilson is considered a potential Top Five NBA draft pick in the 2026 draft.
Last season, Wilson averaged 20.8 points, 14.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 4.4 blocks, and 1.8 steals per game.
