Top Linebacker Prospect Visits Clemson
By Phil Kornblut
LB Christian Wilson (6-3 235) of McKees Rocks, PA visited Clemson Friday along with his parents and brother. "I liked it," Wilson said. "I didn't know what Clemson was about, and I liked it. I liked the stadium and the tradition at the school. They run a 4-3 defense and I'd have a good chance to play there." Wilson met with Tiger head coach Tommy Bowden Friday. "He was telling me about the things at Clemson different from other schools," he said. Wilson will visit Virginia Tech Saturday on his way back to Pennsylvania. He has also visited Michigan, Ohio State, Tennessee, Virginia, Wake Forest, North Carolina, NC State, Michigan State and Pittsburgh. All of those schools have offered along with Florida State, Florida, Arkansas and Penn State. Wilson said he does not have a favorites list yet. "Every school I've been to I've liked," he said. 'I'll try to narrow it down pretty soon. I think Clemson will make the cut." Wilson had 79 tackles and 2 interceptions as an outside linebacker last season.
