Matthew Wilson is emerging as a disruptive, gap-shedding LB for Tennessee State
In the 2025 season, Matthew Wilson played in nine games with five starts for Tennessee State, posting 18 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks, with his biggest splash coming in the UT Martin game where he logged 1.5 sacks and 1.5 TFL. He’s a rising sophomore who has added size from 230 to 245 pounds, and the production suggests a downhill linebacker who can create negative plays rather than just pile up clean-up tackles. If a team wants an active, physical front-seven piece with upside, Wilson is worth caring about.
