There was one word that made Quincy Wilson’s blood boil during the recruiting process.
Safety.
He heard that word more than he ever expected to as a high school player trying to find the best college for him. At 6-1, 200 pounds, multiple programs had questions about whether or not Wilson would be able to stick at cornerback in college. They envisioned bulking him up and using him at safety.
Wilson always had his eyes on cornerback. It’s where he wanted to play and wouldn’t listen if a school suggested otherwise. Former Florida coach Will Muschamp and defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson saw his athleticism and offered him as a cornerback.
