The 2024-25 season will be Wilson's fourth with the Britons. In the 2023-24 season, the men's team saw two qualify for Nationals -- the most since the program's revival -- with Max Honiss and Demond Harrison. Harrison also became the first Regional Champion, as the Brits saw seven place at Regionals. On the women's side, four qualified for Nationals and Albion had two Regional Champions.
Freshman Cade Odrobina was a national qualifier under Wilson's mentorship in 2023. He also saw five women punch tickets to the national meet.
In his first season leading Albion since its revival of wrestling, the Brits sent three to Nationals -- two on the women's side and one on the men's side. He was key in developing Sam Parcell and Jayla Oberst, becoming the first female representatives to compete at Nationals in school history. Additionally, he led Owen Miller and Ben Kamali to MIAA Individual titles, while Miller punched a ticket to Nationals as well.
A western Michigan native, Wilson comes to Albion after spending the last four seasons as the head assistant men's wrestling coach at Olivet College. During his time with the Comets, he was heavily involved in recruiting and building a competitive program in the MIAA. Wilson was also responsible for fundraising, managing social media, alumni engagement and competition day items.
Wilson also had one-year stints on the coaching staffs at Trine and Washington and Lee, where he oversaw recruiting and training programs for his student-athletes.
Wilson, a 2011 Olivet graduate, started his career as an admissions representative at his alma mater. For three years, he learned recruiting strategies while building connections with high schools in the surrounding areas. He obtained his Masters of Higher Education Administration from Upper Iowa University in 2014.
Wilson is a four-year letter winner for the Comets as well as a two-time team captain. He is a three-time NCAA Midwest Regional place winner, including being a part of the 2011 Midwest Regional Championship team. In 2009, he was a member of the NWCA Scholar All-America Team, taking home ninth.
