Big senior year launches Wilson to Iowa State
After shutting down his recruitment during the month of June, a Kansas City (Mo.) defensive end put all of the focus on his team and put together a banner senior season.
Park Hill senior Johnny Wilson will make things official with Iowa State tomorrow morning, signing as a part of the 2020 recruiting class. He’ll also be graduating from high school this month and heading to Ames full-time in January.
At the time of his commitment, Wilson also claimed Power-5 offers from Arkansas, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska. Rivals currently ranks him as a three-star recruit with a 5.6 rating. He's the 14th overall prospect in Missouri and 35th strong-side defensive end nationally in the 2020 class.
The ISU pledge put up huge numbers as a senior. He racked up 97 tackles, with 44 of those coming for a loss, and 13 sacks.
A trio of I-State coaches made an in-home visit with the 6-foot-3, 250-pound Wilson two weeks ago, and helped wrap things up for the defensive end.
