Top Uncommitted Recruit Marvin Wilson Is Just Getting Started

... versa. They've spent countless hours in the living room of their two-bedroom apartment deliberating Wilson's hectic recruitment. "It's been amazing having him by my side," Wilson said. "He's my No. 1 supporter. He sees what I go through on a daily basis. He sees certain things I have to deal with. He sees all the behind-the-scenes stuff that happens that a lot of people don't see.". Another thing people don't see: the endless effort Wilson puts into his craft. Gifted with great size, his work ethic vaulted him into the nation's elite. He recalled a time in sixth grade when Syble told him that she couldn't afford to pay for him to go to college, so a scholarship was his best route to that goal. "She always told me, 'If you want it, you better go get it,'" Wilson said. So he did. Ask Wilson about his first offer - as much a relief as it was excitement - and he can rattle off the exact date: "Jan. 28, 2015. Texas Tech.". Marvin ...

Marvin Wilson, Joseph Lewis Among Top Remaining Uncommitted National Prospects

... commitments to their college of choice. What’s more, an NCAA meeting this April may introduce an early signing day for football players in December, further sucking the hype out of this annual February spectacle. But until then, National Signing Day will maintain its tantalizing air of uncertainty. Here’s a rundown of some of the big names awaiting the final moment to unveil their decisions. 1. DT Marvin Wilson, Episcopal High (Bellaire, Texas), 6-4, 329 lbs. Ranked No. 4 overall by ESPN. Schools in the mix: Florida State, LSU, Oklahoma, Ohio State, South Florida. Considered by many outlets to be the best player left uncommitted, Wilson narrowed his list to five schools in late December. The nation’s top-rated defensive tackle was reported to be leaning toward LSU in early January, but some high-profile Florida State commits have been in ...

Urban Meyer's Signing Day Wish List

... enrollee Josh Myers. The only problem is that Davis and Myers each project as guards at the college level, leaving Ohio State’s 2017 class void of a true tackle prospect. That could present an issue depth-wise down the line, as starting left tackle Jamarco Jones enters his senior season, and Isaiah Prince and Malcolm Pridgeon each prepare for their junior campaigns. As as result, it remains likely the Buckeyes will add a tackle prospect to their 2017 class in the coming days. Right now, the odds-on favorite is Massillon (Ohio) Washington’s  Thayer Munford , who received an offer from Ohio State last week and is expected to eventually commit to the Buckeyes. But until he does, continuing to recruit the 4-star prospect will remain one of Ohio State’s top priorities. An additional playmaker. The Buckeyes 2017 class currently possesses two pure wide receivers and running back J. K. Dobbins. Brendon White arrived at Ohio State as a linebacker but has since ...

Fsu Makes Final Pitch To 5-star Recruit Marvin Wilson

... From Bellaire (Texas) Episcopal High School, Marvin Wilson is unquestionably FSU’s top target remaining on its recruiting board. Getting Wilson would cap an incredible defensive line haul for the Seminoles, which already includes a five-star, a four-star, and two three-stars. Thursday, FSU makes its final pitch with its last in-home visit. Jimbo Fisher is in Houston to see Wilson, as is area recruiter Tim Brewster (tight ends coach), position coach Odell Haggins, and defensive coordinator Charles Kelly. FSU has a great shot to land Wilson. It has executed a near-perfect recruitment. Florida State has had him on campus several times, a major key for out-of-state targets. He got to work out over the summer with future potential linemates in Ja’Len Parks and Corey Durden, both at FSU’s camp and at Nike’s The Opening. FSU has had success in recruiting the city, just last year landing Dontavious Jackson, who has ...

Florida State Gets Marvin Wilson

... were looking to land a few uncommitted prospects who would secure a top-5 signing class. FSU landed the biggest uncommitted player — five-star defensive tackle Marvin Wilson of Bellaire, Texas — late on national signing day. The 6-foot-4, 329-pound Wilson is considered the top interior lineman in the Class of 2017 and gives FSU four prospects who are ranked as five-star prospects by the major recruiting services. “I loved everything about it,” Wilson said at a signing ceremony that was broadcast on ESPNU. “The environment was great. They showed me the love.”. The addition of Wilson and four-star linebacker Leonard Warner were significant additions to FSU’s class and cushioned the loss of three-star defensive tackle Neil Farrell (LSU), four-star linebacker Levi Jones (USC) and four-star receiver Henry Ruggs (Alabama). FSU signed 22 players, including seven early enrollees, in a 2017 signing class that ranks fourth by ESPN, fifth by Rivals and sixth by 247 ...

Five-star Dt Marvin Wilson Commits To Florida State Football

... Marvin Wilson, the highest rated defensive tackle in the country, announced his commitment to Florida State football on National Signing Day 2017. Wilson was the highest rated recruit who had not yet committed to a school. He chose Florida State over LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma and South Florida and announced his decision at Episcopal High School in Houston. - Five-star recruit Aubrey Solomon, who Rivals rated as the second-best defensive tackle in the country, announced his commitment to Michigan on National Signing Day. Solomon made his decision known on Wednesday, a move that is viewed as impressive considering the Georgia-born player eschewed SEC powers Alabama and Georgia as well as USC to compete in Ann Arbor. Solomon originally committed to the Wolverines several months ago, but backed off that statement after Michigan sent a thank you note addressed to another player in regard to attending an event he knew nothing about. "A day or two ago, they sent my mom a card thanking us for going to the Michigan BBQ, but we never went," Solomon at the time told Dawgs 247, a Georgia recruiting site. "I do not know which recruit they ...
