Maryland Reaches Out to Offered Florida Cornerback
Lincoln High School (FL) cornerback Robert Wilson added an offer from Maryland back on August 7 when outside linebacker coach Brawley Evans pulled the trigger on the 6-foot, 170-pound prospect. When September 1 hit, it was Evans who reached out first to Wilson.
“I heard from coach Evans,” Wilson told All Terrapins. “I met him when my older brother [Trevor Solomon-Wilson] got recruited. We had a relationship. He’s a cool coach, he’s like family to my dad.” His previous visit to campus gave the cornerback a glimpse into College Park though he added “I know the campus but I have to take another visit.”
That second visit will likely include his younger brother, 2023 outside linebacker Raylen Wilson, who also holds an early offer from Maryland and Tennessee. While the 2022 cornerback looks forward to taking visits once they resume, he’s enjoyed the early stages of recruiting. “I was just excited but at the same time, hard work pays off. It was expected but not expected.”
Wilson has stayed patient and motivated heading into the season. Visits and in-person feel will give him a stronger opportunity to strengthen his relationships, which he knows will be important for him. “I like the relationships. It’s got to be like a second family. Just someone to teach me and take me to the next level.”
Wilson is looking to maintain his weight around 175 pounds as coaches have noted his speed and length. Lincoln will kick their season off on October 2 with a road matchup against Rickards as the elder Wilson is motivated for the season.
“I want to show really just my speed, getting off the ball faster and bringing the receiver down.”
