Top 2017 DT will announce final five list at Under Armour All-American Game
2017 DT prospect Marvin Wilson is man amongst boys on the high school level.
At 6-foot-4, 329 pounds, he’s already the size of an NFL defensive tackle. Wilson routinely shucks and tosses offensive linemen around as if they were rag dolls. He’s also possessing very good short-area quickness — which enables him to get after opposing quarterbacks quite frequently.
For all of these reasons (and certainly a few more), Wilson is regarded as one of the best players at his position within the 2017 class.
Ranked as the No. 1 defensive tackle in the country by 247Sports, Wilson has every major program pining for his services.
He’s been a bit coy as to which schools stand out. However, Wilson announced on Twitter that a top-5 list will be coming shortly:
