New Mexico Offers West Rusk’s Tyree Wilson
West Rusk 2018 linebacker and Washington State commit Tyree Wilson received his 13th Division I FBS scholarship offer on Saturday.
Wilson (6-5, 225) reported via Twitter that New Mexico has offered.
The Raiders' defender also holds FBS opportunities from Houston, Kansas, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, Memphis, New Mexico, Oklahoma State, SMU, Southern Miss, Texas State, Tulane, and Wyoming.
Wilson is the third local recruit in the 2018 class to be targeted by New Mexico, joining Tyler Lee quarterback Chance Amie and Kilgore receiver Jonathan Shepherd.
In spite of fierce competition with his teammates at the middle level of the defense, as has been the case at West Rusk in recent seasons, Wilson (6-5, 225) was able to record 74 total tackles through his junior year. Thirteen tackles went for loss in an 11-game season that ended with a first-round appearance in the Class 3A Division II state playoffs.
New Mexico competes in the Mountain West Conference and his coached by Bob Davie. The Lobos were 9-4 in 2016, ending the year with a 23-20 win over UTSA in the New Mexico Bowl.
Wilson will first become eligible to sign with any program that offers him in December.
