Wilson was the winner of the 2023 Butkus Award, presented to the nation’s top linebacker, and the Bednarik Award, presented to the nation’s top defensive player.
“My versatility speaks for itself,” said Wilson. “I am able to play in the box as well as drop into coverage.
“Growing up watching the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, that is the way I model how I play. Hard, fast, physical and playing as tough as you can play. Super excited to get with everyone there and continue to elevate my game.”
Wilson played in 12 games in 2023, finishing with a career-high 138 tackles, including 69 solo stops. He also had a career-high six sacks for a loss of 34 yards.
Wilson, whose brother Bryce Wilson pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2021-22, is no stranger to Pittsburgh.
“I came to a few games,” said Wilson. “It’s one of my favorite cities of all time. Super familiar with the city. Also, super familiar with how much Pittsburgh loves their professional sports teams. Super excited.”
