Eugene Wilson III On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Eugene Wilson III:

“Silky smooth mover at receiver with elite change of direction skills. Looks line of the quicker and more fluid receivers in the cycle. Had an illuminating performance at the Under Armour Next Miami Camp in the spring prior to his senior season. Has the skills to consistently separate against top corners. Possesses elite change of direction and short area quickness, which shows up in his route-running, which is among the best in the cycle.

“Also has verified top-end speed with an electronically-timed sub-4.5 40-yard dash. A bit of a late-bloomer physically, having grown an inch in his junior year. Could also play defense. Can continue to improve his production at the high school level. Father Eugene Wilson starred at Illinois and won two Super Bowls as a safety for the New England Patriots.”

On3 compares Wilson III’s style of play to former Ohio State and current New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave.
