SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The life of NFL Draft hopeful Zach Wilson is good right now. Really good.
After announcing he was foregoing his senior year at BYU for a career in the NFL, Wilson moved into a stunning California house. Now he’s got a fancy new ride to drive around in.
Wilson’s old Mazda6 is out, and a new Maserati Levante is in.
We get goosebumps too seeing Zach Wilson’s new ride. 😯 🚙 💨

The car came courtesy of the agency that is representing him, WME Sports. WME has been taking care of their new client as he gets ready for a career in the NFL.
Wilson shared a video on his Instagram Stories for his followers accompanied by Travis Scott’s song, “Goosebumps.” Who wouldn’t get goosebumps getting that ride in their driveway?
Retail listing on the Maserati Levante on the low end is $77,500. On the high end, they are going for $125,000. It’s good to be a highly sought after NFL draft pick. He earned it with all the sacrifices he had to make to get to this point.
Zach Wilson is rising up draft boards
The former BYU signal-caller has had a meteoric rise up draft boards the past few months because of his impressive 2020 season, where he led BYU to an 11-1 season. Their first 11-win season since 2009. The impressive draft prospect is gearing up for Pro Day on the BYU campus that will take place at the end of March or into April.
Some NFL Draft projections have tabbed Wilson to go as high as No. 2 overall to the New York Jets.
During his three years as BYU’s quarterback, Wilson passed for 7,652 yards and 56 touchdowns. In 2020, Wilson completed 73.5 percent of his passes. Wilson has the potential to become the highest draft pick in the history of the BYU football program. The highest selected players are Jim McMahon and Ezekiel “Ziggy” Ansah, who both were selected No. 5 overall in their respective draft classes.
