Now, the Richland Northeast High School (S.C.) standout is set to officially enroll at NC State in January and will do so as the newly minted Mr. Football in South Carolina.
Wilson received that distinction, presented by the South Carolina Athletic Coaches Association to the state's premier senior on the gridiron, after leading Richland Northeast to an 8-4 campaign this season. He threw for 2,482 yards and rushed for 1,144 yards, combining for 42 touchdowns through the air and on the ground.
Of course, Will Wilson also landed on the All-State First Team released on Monday.
"The class starts — and started — with our quarterback commit, Will Wilson," 12th-year NC State football head coach Dave Doeren said earlier this month. "I'm so excited about Will and have known him a long time...He's a young guy that can throw, can run, can lead."
