The 6-4, 215-pound Wilson was an honorable mention selection on the All-State team as a linebacker.

Wilson said he has not made a commitment and is also being recruited by Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Louisville and Indiana among others.

There has been plenty of speculation on his teammate - linebacker Ridge Wilson. But the 6-foot-4, 210-pound Wilson said he's still has "no favorite right now."

Wilson, who helped Central to its first state title in school history last fall, holds offers from Louisville, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Indiana and Arkansas.

"I am still just taking my time and will wait to see what happens when the season starts," Wilson said. "I just want to see everything out there."

Wilson talked specifically about the two local schools. He said with Louisville there was "nothing better than home. I can stay here and family come see me play."

"At UK, I go up there and I feel welcomed. I feel like it's where I need to be and I have a good connection with coach (Rich) Brooks and (Joker) Phillips. But I want to take my time."

Wilson has narrowed his list to Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennesse and Auburn. Academics, playing time, and the overall fot with the program will be important factors in his choice.

Louisville Central outside linebacker Ridge Wilson, 6-4, 215 pounds, 4. 6 seconds in the 40-yard dash, has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Louisville, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Indiana and Purdue. He said Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Auburn and some Ivy League schools are showing interest. Johnson and Central Coach Ty Scroggins were teammates at Louisville during the 1990 football season when the Cardinals went 10-1-1 and beat Alabama 34-7 in the 1991 Fiesta Bowl. Johnson was a senior while Scroggins was a freshman.

“Coach Johnson and I are real cool,” said Wilson, who recorded over 80 tackles for Central, which won the Class 3 A state championship last year. “We have a nice bond because he played football at Louisville with my coach, Ty Scroggins. They played linebacker together at Louisville. I’ve talked to him a few times on the phone and I email him a lot and stay in contact a lot. He’s a good man.” Wilson said he plans to make official visits during the season to Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma and possibly Kansas before making a decision. He said he doesn’t need to take a visit to Kentucky since he’s already familiar with the Wildcats.

“I want to commit as soon as possible, so I don’t have a lot of stress about recruiting during the season.” Wilson said.
