Chamberlain's Wilder gets first offer

Quote:

Standout Chamberlain defensive end James Wilder, Jr., the son of Buccaneers legend James Wilder, has received his first scholarship offer. And it’s a good one.

Chiefs coach Billy Turner confirmed Tuesday that South Carolina had pulled the trigger.

Wilder (6-foot-2, 200 pounds), a sophomore, is a key contributor on what arguably is one of the state’s best defensive lines.

“He’s relentless,” Turner said of Wilder. “He just goes 100 miles per hour every time the ball is snapped. He’s a bionic man.”

Chamberlain sophomore defensive end James Wilder Jr., son of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back James Wilder, picked up his third offer Monday when Florida football coach Urban Meyer entered the race for the rising prospect while visiting the campus, Chamberlain assistant coach Brian Turner said.

Wilder, who led the Chiefs in tackles (145) and sacks (15), was named to the Tribune’s All-Hillsborough County first-team. Tuner said Tennessee offered Wilder last week, and during this past season, South Carolina became the first school to offer.
