High school career

Wilson attended Wenonah High School in Birmingham, Alabama, where he was primarily a basketball star, earning first-team Parade All-American honors in 2013. He joined the football team in his senior season, when he caught 31 passes for 682 yards and helped lead the Dragons to a 10-2 season.

On the hardwood, he helped lead the Dragons three consecutive state championships and was named the 2013 Alabama Mr. Basketball.

Wilson was rated as a three-star football recruit by 247sports.com, Rivals.com, and Scout.com. He chose to attend Mississippi State over offers from Auburn, Cincinnati, Colorado State, Louisville, Tennessee, and UAB.

Freshman season (2013)

Wilson made his debut in the first game of the 2013 season, catching 2 passes for 17 yards in a 21-3 loss to Oklahoma State in the AdvoCare Texas Kickoff. Wilson's first touchdown came on a 59-yard pass from Tyler Russell against LSU. Wilson had a breakout game against Texas A&M, catching 7 passes for 75 yards and 2 touchdowns.

After the football season ended, Wilson played on the Bulldogs men's basketball team. He appeared in 7 games, scoring 6 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.

Sophomore season (2014)

Wilson started every game at receiver for the Bulldogs in 2014. He had four catches and a touchdown in each of the Bulldogs' wins over top 10 teams LSU, Texas A&M, and Auburn, helping lead the Bulldogs to the #1 ranking. Wilson came on strong at the end of the season, having 8 catches each in losses to Alabama and Ole Miss. He followed it up with 9 catches and 2 touchdowns in the Orange Bowl. Wilson was the 2014 Bulldogs' leading receiver in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.

Wilson was listed on the 2014–15 men's basketball roster, but did not appear in any games. Wilson's career as a basketball player is presumably finished.

Junior season (2015)

Wilson had 8 catches and a touchdown in a 21-19 loss to LSU. He had 102 yards and 2 touchdowns in a rainy 31-13 win over Missouri and a career-high 10 receptions in a 51-50 thriller over Arkansas.

Wilson ranks 5th in school history with 133 receptions, 6th with 1,949 yards, and 2nd with 22 touchdowns.

Professional career

On January 1, 2016, Wilson announced via Instagram that he will enter the 2016 NFL Draft. Wilson has drawn comparisons to Baltimore Ravens receiver Darren Waller.

Wilson went undrafted in the 2016 NFL Draft.

In October 2016, he was signed to the Chicago Bears practice squad.
