Not only did the 6-foot-1, 225-pound dual-threat talent account for over 500 yards of offense against the Lions, including 396 through the air and 141 on the ground, but Wilson also totaled five touchdowns.
That performance capped off a prolific year for the early Wolfpack commit, as he threw for almost 2,500 yards across 10 outings, connecting on 22 TD passes with only two interceptions while racking up 1,144 yards and 20 scores via his legs.
On Tuesday morning, the three-star prospect said farewell to his high school playing career and looked ahead to his days at NC State via the following post on social media:
