Few quarterbacks thought of throwing Wilson’s way when he lined up at cornerback. When they did, they paid (six interceptions). Ballcarriers, too (64 tackles, 8 forced fumbles, 6 fumble recoveries).

It all added up to pace Collegiate to its fourth consecutive Virginia Independent Schools state title, Wilson’s third straight, and a 10-1 mark, Wilson’s first and only blemish as a starting quarterback.

He was 21-1 in his career as a starting QB, 31-2 overall, and accounted for almost six miles of offensive yards (10,116) and 130 TDs in his record-breaking, standard-making career.

“It doesn’t come around too often and it’s happened to me twice,” Wilson said. “I always read the paper. I always wanted to be those guys. At the same time, I always wanted to move on and be better. Move on to play college football and college baseball. Stuff like that.”

Ah, the next level. For those wondering, his N.C. State commitment is as strong as his right arm, despite coach Chuck Amato’s firing. North Carolina, Duke and others have been calling the Wilson household to throw a curveball or two.

But Wilson’s stroked them into the outfield like he does in the spring playing baseball.
