From Rayville, La. -- better known as the hometown of UH legend Elvin Hayes -- Wilson played two seasons at Louisiana and spent one season at Texas Tech, where he was a defensive specialist. He transferred to UH before the 2022-23 season, using a redshirt year as associate head coach Quannas White and Goldwire used the time to work on his shot. Wilson already possessed a good mid-range jumper, so Goldwire said the focus was on cleaning up his form and follow-through.
