When Walters hit the transfer portal he had a lot of big shoes to fill in the backfield. Marquis Wilson was one of the players he landed, a cornerback from Penn State.

He was a consensus 4-star prospect out of high school and rated the 26th best cornerback in the nation according to ESPN. He received offers from Tennessee, Florida State, Alabama, Michigan, and Wisconsin among a long list of other schools before choosing Penn State.

Wilson has played all four seasons for the Nittany Lions and appeared in 10 games last season recording 18 tackles, a forced fumble and two pass breakups.
