Listed at 6’1,” 213 pounds, Wilson has great size and the physical tools that many NFL teams covet in cornerbacks. He had three interceptions this season and is expected to one of the first cornerbacks taken in the NFL draft in late April. Sharpe thanked the school "for everything they've done for me and 3 years of life changing experiences."
Sharpe also has the physical makeup that will attract NFL teams. The former Fletcher high school graduate stands at a massive 6’6,” 357 pounds. He started in 26 games the past two seasons for the Gators.
The Gators (9-4) now await word from cornerback Jalen Tabor and defensive tackle Caleb Brantley. Both are expected to turn pro.
