Practicing with Tigers Wilson (leg) is partaking in spring ball, per Clemson on SI.

Commits to LSU Wilson (leg) has committed to LSU, Hayes Fawcett of On3 reports.

Impact In less than one week, LSU's receiver corps added four commitments -- the first three being Jackson Harris, Tre' Brown and Jayce Brown. Unlike the other three, Wilson has SEC experience, and ample loads of it. While enrolled at Florida from 2023 to 2025, he logged 107 receptions (on 139 targets) for 1,043 yards and 10 touchdowns. Now that Wilson's 2026 season includes a team, his focus shifts to recovering from an injured leg.

Impact After a rough stretch for Wilson in which he had no more than three catches since September 13th including two games with out a single catch, Wilson showed up with his best game of the season.

Back at practice but still limited Wilson (undisclosed) logged a limited practice session for Florida on Tuesday, Zach Abolverdi of On3.com reports.
