Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound junior forward led the Cardinals to a 22-4 record and the South Carolina Independent Schools Association Class AAAA state championship this past season. Wilson scored 38 goals and passed for 13 assists, netting a hat trick in Newman’s 4-0 win over the Hammond School in the state final. The SCISA Class AAAA Player of the Year, Wilson is ranked as the nation’s No. 51 recruit in the Class of 2024 by PrepSoccer.com. He had played soccer exclusively for his club team until this spring.

Academic Achievement

Wilson has maintained a weighted 4.53 GPA in the classroom. Taking advantage of NCAA early signing rules, he intends to ink a financial-aid agreement that will pave the way for him to enroll early at Clemson University, where he will play soccer. He is scheduled to graduate from high school this December and matriculate for the 2024 spring semester.
