In the most highly-anticipated decision of National Signing Day, five-star defensive tackle Marvin Wilson of Episcopal (Bellaire, Texas) picked Florida State.

The 6-foot-4, 329-pounder is the top-rated defensive tackle and No. 6 overall recruit by 247Sports. He chose the Seminoles over LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Texas.

Wilson racked up 42 tackles, 19 tackles for loss and nine sacks this season. He helped the Knights to a 9-2 record playing in the Southwest Preparatory Conference made up of private schools in Texas.



He's also a presence on the hardwood for the 16-10 Knights, averaging 4.0 points and 5.0 rebounds per game.

Wilson's teammate, fellow five-star prospect Walker Little, also made things official Wednesday though there was little drama surrounding his decision.

Little, a 6-7, 315-pound offensive tackle pegged as the No. 10 overall recruit by 247Sports, committed to Stanford back on Dec. 16. Alabama, Georgia and Florida State also extended offers to the towering lineman.
