Having spent five years at East Carolina University, Wilson transferred to Virginia earlier this year while seeking an extension of eligibility waiver to play college football in 2026. As it turns out, that did not work out for him, and he was included in the 2026 NFL Draft. After going un-drafted he became available for signing with any team. Wilson initially played offensive line for ECU, with his first game action occurring in 2023 at right guard. In 2024, he switched to defensive tackle and logged 13 snaps, as well as playing occasional fullback.
He became a full-time starter in 2025, recording 42 total tackles, ten TFLs, seven sacks, and one pass deflection on 454 defensive snaps.

As a result, he joins the Eagles facing an uphill battle in order to make the 53-man roster. Here is a look at his complete college stats during his three years at ECU 37 games played 42 combined tackles 20 solo tackles 10.0 tackles for loss 7.0 career sacks 1 pass deflection This will certainly be an interesting name to watch for the Eagles’ 53-man roster as he was an unexpected addition.
