Schools Continuing to Pursue Oregon WR Commit Adrian Wilson
Top prospects from across the country flocked to the Alamodome in San Antonio last week for the annual National Combine. One player that separated himself as one of the best wide receivers in attendance was Oregon commit Adrian Wilson from Pflugerville (Tex.) Weiss High School.
Ducks Digest caught up with Wilson to get the latest in his recruitment.
Wilson committed to Oregon after building strong relationships with the Oregon staff, flipping from a brief one-month TCU commitment.
"I would definitely say it was the relationships. Coach AP [Antonio Parks] coming from the Arizona area and me being in that area a lot," he said of his commitment. "Coach [Will] Stein coaching at Lake Travis High School in the area, to being at UTSA being one of my first offers. So it was like a lot of things in the area, Dan Lanning recruiting me over at Georgia and then going to Oregon. It's a lot of the relationships that were already built and it was kind of like why not make this home?"
We're just turning the page to the 2025 recruiting class and it's no surprise that schools are continuing to recruit the Ducks wide receiver pledge.
"Some schools that are recruiting me very heavily still are Penn State, but there's a lot that haven't offered yet just because I am committed and I have flipped already. They don't know if I will flip, like FSU, Tennessee, UT (Texas), they're just trying to make sure that I would flip, but they haven't offered yet just because I'm not really buying into the flip process yet."

What about the schools that have already offered him and are still recruiting him?
"UTSA's still coming after me pretty hard," he said. "Oklahoma's still coming after me pretty hard, Louisville as well. Louisville's really pushing as well, they've been calling me and sending mail a lot as well."
When it comes to managing recruiting conversations with other schools, Wilson is leading with respect.
"I mean, I try to keep it all respect, but at the end of the day I know that I've committed to Oregon and that's what I need to keep it until I've changed my decision, so I don't try to sell them any dreams or hopes before I make that decision."
As for what's next on the recruiting trail, the 6-foot-2, 176-pound wideout is looking ahead to official visits.
"I'm really gearing up for a good spring ball and then go into doing some of my official visits starting this next school year."
Schools that he'd like to take official visits to include Oregon, Penn State and Oklahoma.
Penn State signed a top-15 class in the 2024 cycle and Wilson spoke about his interest in the Nittany Lions.
"They always have good quarterbacks and things like that, but they never really have the receivers to get the ball to. So I feel like that's a place where I can go get early playing time and also get the ball and kind of get my name out there early on as a true freshman and get the best option at making it to the NFL."
Wilson is athletic a recruit as you'll find, as he also participates in basketball, track and soccer at Weiss. When it comes to his skills as a receiver, he prides himself on his speed.
"I would definitely say that I'm a deep threat that can run routes," he told Ducks Digest. "I would say deep threat first because if you watch my film a lot of my routes are most posts and gos. But if you keep watching it I get in and out of my routes as well, so I'm very versatile across all boards."
Fun fact: Adrian Wilson is originally from Anchorage, Alaska but his family moved to Texas in part to get better exposure as a high school athlete.
