For the season, Wilson has run for 1,439 yards and 25 touchdowns. His efforts have helped O'Dea win all seven games this season by 25 points or more.
Under 400-game winner Monte Kohler (414-65-2) the Fighting Irish are looking for their seventh state championship after finishing on top under the legendary head coach in 1991, 1994, 1995, 2017, 2024 and 2025.
O'Dea is no stranger to producing elite running backs as Wilson follows in the footsteps of recent stars Myles Gaskin and Jason Brown Jr.
