By BK...Christian loved the atmosphere in Columbus yesterday. He is being recruited as either a LB, TE or WR.

Since he is only a junior you would think that he has prime size to become a DE or TE at the next level...

[wadc45]

I have liked this kid for some time and was stoked to see him on the visit list.

I know it sounds kind of weird, but the name sounds familiar, and the face looks familiar, but I can't place it. Have we recruited someone with his name in the past?

[Buckeyecty4]

No he was the kid from that ridiculous show featuring Dick Butkus... u know where he took over the coaching duties at a high school...

From the Pitt site...Christian talks about this past season. Coaches from Michigan and Pitt were in to see him last week. He attended the Notre Dame-UCLA and Ohio State-Michigan games this year.

From Keystone Recruiting:

Now that Dick Butkus isn't around anymore, the real head coach at Montour High School, Lou Cerro, has developed some excellent young talent. The main prospect at the school, CHRISTIAN WILSON (prominently featured in the 2005 ESPN reality-program "Bound For Glory") will be one of the better linebacker prospects in the state next year.

"He's 6'3 1/2" and 225 pounds right now," says Cerro, "and he will probably be 6'4" and 230 pounds next season. He also runs in the 4.65 to 4.70 range. He is so athletic that he is our tailback and you don't see too many 6'4" 230-pound tailbacks floating around the WPIAL."

Cerro says some schools may look at him for tight end or H-Back, but that most see him as a linebacker.

"Pitt is coming in today to see him and Michigan was in last week. We expect there will be a lot more," said Cerro.

From the Pitt site...Christian talks about the AA combine. Louisville, Michigan, Virginia and Virginia Tech have offered and supposedly OSU is on the verge of offering.

FWIW he and Shayne Hale are friends and both will be holding OSU offers.

Now that would just be crazy if we go to PA to grab their top 2 LB's in a year when our state is loaded...

Andrew Sweat, the kid from Andrew Miller's school is even better than Wilson from what I hear. Wilson is an athlete, but Sweat is a big time football player.

Any idea on Wilson's best position...The staff seems to really like him...

[cheetah]

People are looking at him for LB and H-Back. The last I heard he likes Pitt because he wants to study physical therapy and I guess they are one of the best for that.
