He and Hog offensive coordinator Jim Chaney have talked.
“I really like Arkansas,” Wilson said. “I like coach Chaney a lot. He’s a real nice guy.”
He completed 210 of 346 passes for 2,650 yards and 30 touchdowns last year.
“I’ve got a very strong arm and I’m pretty athletic, I run a 4.63 forty,” he said. “I’m a pro-style passer, but I can also run if I need to. I feel like I can make any throw I need to.”
Wilson’s speed is exhibited on the track. He has a best of 52 seconds in the 400 meters and also runs a leg in the 4x100 and 4x200 relays. He runs the anchor leg in the 4x400.
His father was a center and a team captain at Missouri and was drafted by the New England Patriots. His middle brother Roman recently graduated from Princeton and was a FCS All-American as a receiver.
“My older brother played football at TU (Tulsa) and he got his masters degree in five years there on a football scholarship,” Wilson said.
Wilson, who has a 4.0 grade point average, won’t have to make his college decision anytime soon, but he know what he wants.
“First off, I want a school that wants me,” Wilson said. “I don’t want to go to a school not desired there. I definitely want to go where they want me and the coaches like me and I want to go somewhere I like the school.”
