Coach Comments

"We really want to continue to add to our depth at linebacker. We're very top heavy, upper-class orientated so we want to hopefully build around Mr. Woodson at middle linebacker, whose been playing with the poise of a fifth year senior - so he'll allow for the transition to be smooth,"

"I'd love to add a college-ready, four year starting CB to our roster for next year without a doubt. With Bob Garrison and Gary Luke graduating, we'll need to find players to step up and full the void. We would really like some speed at the corner position,"

"We're in no rush to replace our starting QB, but we'd certainly like to have somebody on the bench ready to start if Lamar goes down with an injury or simply to just be learning the game and the pace we'd like it to be for when it's his time to play. Although we've been finding recent success in Lamar taking off an running, there's a lot of kids in high school right now who are pro-style pocket passer QBs that could do some damage in our scheme,"

"We really need to address the depth issue at defensive line. While we're talented, we don't have very many bodies and we could really improve the future of his program by pulling in some big, talented linemen,"

JOSH WILSON
Linebacker
Rochester Hills, Michigan
Rochester Adams High School

Ht: 6'7
Wt: 244 lbs
40: 4.46
Class: 2016

On the Hoof: Josh Wilson has the ability to dwarf even the finest of defensive athletes this sport has to offer. He is built like an absolute tank, he's big bodied and very aggressive.

Needs Improvement: He could certainly improve his knowledge when dropping back in coverage. He has all of the athletic build up to be a force in pass defence and play the linebacker position very big and very athletic.

Most Impressive: Right now, Wilson looks like the absolute total package out of high school because he has been sensational up to this point in his career in all facets of the game. He's a very athletic linebacker who can disrupt the backfield consistently but easily rely on his speed, agility and jumping ability to shut down an entire area of the field. His agility and athleticism for being how big he is, is amazing and he'll certainly be ready to start day one on campus. He could translate into a very efficient defensive end if the Bulldogs are in need of a pass rusher and he won't be able to crack the linebacker corps.

Conclusion: It's possible that he will end up a 6-7, 260-pound strongside defensive end with enough speed to catch any quarterback from the backside. Don't be surprised if he has an impact as a true freshman.
