Marco Wilson - Cornerback Florida Gators Scouting Report
MARCO WILSON | Florida | DC | #3 | rJr | 5116 | 191 | Ft. Lauderdale, FL | American Heritage | 03.03.99
Overview:
Coming onto campus with high expectations, Wilson was never quite able to live up to them. Possessing intriguing movement skills, he can change directions in space and carry most wideouts vertically. In a zone-heavy defense, he played a lot of Cover 3 and Cover 4. Here his inability to play the ball in the air hurt him time and time again as he panics and can’t locate the ball. Wilson lacks physicality in run support as he is not willing to tackle and often misses when he has to. Inconsistencies in his technique and eye discipline have made him susceptible to giving up big plays too frequently. His undisciplined nature culminated in the infamous shoe throw against LSU. There is talent with Wilson to make him a rosterable player in the NFL. He has to take steps forward mentally to show teams that he can be relied upon if he wants to have a career in the league.
