Wilson Likes Wolves Over Tigers
By Phil Kornblut

LB Christian Wilson (6-3 235) of McKees Rock, PA hopes to make a decision before his season. He has narrowed down his list from more than 45 offers to a little more than a handful. His current top five are Clemson, Michigan, Rutgers, North Carolina and Virginia Tech, and all are considering him for both sides of the ball. He can also play tight end, H-back or running back. He said Michigan is his current favorite ahead of Clemson and Rutgers. "Clemson wants me more for defense," he said. "The way they use their tight end is not the way I want to be used," if he played on the offensive side. Wilson said he hears daily from Clemson recruiters David Blackwell and Andre Powell. Schools just out of his top five and still under consideration are Louisville, Boston College, Michigan State and Nebraska. Wilson said he will be at the University of Florida for a few days later this month participating in a basketball tournament.
