Wilson is a technically sound pass protector at center whose elite pass-blocking metrics — zero sacks allowed in 581 opportunities with an 87.1 PFF grade as a sophomore — represent one of the best individual pass-protection seasons by a center in recent college football. He anchors well against power rushers and processes the pre-snap picture quickly, though his 68.3 overall PFF grade in 2024 reveals a meaningful gap between his pass-blocking floor and his run-blocking ceiling. He's not a people-mover in the ground game and the 23-0 shutout loss to Oregon in the CFP exposed some limitations when the offensive line was tested against elite competition. The floor is a quality backup center who can keep your quarterback clean on passing downs; the ceiling is a steady NFL starter if the run-blocking development catches up to the pass protection.
- Elite pass-blocking efficiency: zero sacks allowed in 581 pass-blocking snaps in 2024, with an 87.1 PFF pass-blocking grade that ranked 4th nationally among centers
- Strong pre-snap processing and communication — improved dramatically from his first year as a starter, calling protections effectively in Texas Tech's uptempo system
- Durability and availability: started all 13 games in 2024, logged 1,021 offensive snaps (2nd nationally among centers), then played full 2025 season through CFP
- Proven against high-level competition in the Big 12 Championship, where PFF graded him above 84.0 in pass blocking vs. BYU
- Football lineage and track-and-field background (shot put, discus) suggest functional strength and natural athleticism for the position
- Significant run-blocking development needed: 68.3 overall PFF grade in 2024 vs. 87.1 pass-blocking grade reveals a substantial gap, confirmed by local beat reporting that Wilson is 'a much more prolific pass blocker than run blocker'
- Undersized for the position at his recruit profile (6-4, 275 originally; has grown to 6-5, 300) — may lack the mass and leverage to move bodies consistently at the NFL level
- Struggled badly in the Orange Bowl shutout loss to Oregon (23-0), where the entire Texas Tech offense was ineffective against an elite defensive front
- Very limited pre-2024 playing experience: only appeared in 2 games before becoming a starter, raising questions about his overall development runway
Smart, technically clean center who keeps the quarterback clean on passing downs and wins with positioning rather than power. Both profiles feature high pass-blocking grades paired with limitations as run blockers. Reiter carved out a multi-year NFL career as a starter through intelligence and consistency rather than physical dominance.
