On3 DB / Jonah Wilson

As a College Recruit

Thickly built, x-type wide receiver whose long strides allow him to eat yardage and take the top off of defenses while also “little boy-ing” inferior corners on 50-50 balls. Totaled 34 receptions for 469 yards and 8 touchdowns during his junior campaign. Ran a 22.71 200m during his junior track and field season. Strong hands at the catch point. Not overly twitched up or shifty, more of a straight-line mover. Strength and mass throughout the frame allows him to pull through weaker arm tackles with the ball in his hands. Role player at the next level who needs to develop more fast-twitch muscles in order to raise his athletic ceiling. Basketball player as well.

Jonah Wilson has big senior season debut

Charles Power•

Jonah Wilson had a big senior season debut on Friday night, putting forth what is likely the best single-game performance of his career to date. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder finished with nine catches for 190 yards and two touchdowns in Houston Dekaney’s 32-25 loss to Klein Oak. We’ve always viewed Wilson as talented pass catcher with a big catch radius and coordinated movements. With that said, he simply hasn’t had the volume of targets or production of most other top receivers to this point. On Friday, we saw an improved Dekaney passing game better showcase Wilson’s skills. The Texas commit made a number of high-level plays. He out-leapt a cornerback to come down with a high-point touchdown catch. The ball skills stayed on display when Wilson came down with a jump ball in a crowd of three defenders. He later tracked an underthrown pass for a diving grab. Wilson capped off the big night with a 59 yard catch-and-run touchdown that saw him juke multiple defenders in space while cutting across the field.
