Thomas Wilson's got some learning to do, but his football instincts are undeniable

The Beef: How can you not be impressed with the performance of the true freshman from last season? He’s right behind Simon on the depth chart and certainly in place to see a lot of time in both the special teams game and live defensive action. Does Wilson end up starting for two years next to Sherrils after Simon graduates this year? Could be a lot of experience in this entire secondary in 2016 and 2017.

Bill C.: Technically, Thomas Wilson didn't do much on the field last year. He saw time at nickel back and on special teams, and he made more tackles than Anthony Sherrils did, but you can only learn so much about a player in 12.
