As a junior, Wilson caught 28 passes for 520 yards and six touchdowns. ESPN rates him a 3-star recruit.
Wilson has connections to a couple of Arkansas assistant coaches, offensive coordinator Kendal Briles and receivers coach Justin Stepp.
Dontre Wilson, Jaedon’s older brother, was recruited by Briles at Baylor before signing with Ohio State in 2013. Former DeSoto receiver James Proche, who was drafted this year by the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens, was coached at SMU by Stepp.
"Coach Stepp played a big part of the role (and) Kendal Briles - both of them guys," Wilson said, "and the school and the environment around it and the atmosphere and the fans.
"I love everything about the facilities...the weight room, the indoor facility, the locker rooms, the lounge - everything about it is great."
Wilson is the first receiver and eighth player to commit to Arkansas’ 2021 recruiting class. Verbal commitments are not binding.
