Daily News | Ohio State wide receivers could fit the Eagles’ needs in the NFL Draft’s first round
COLOMBUS, Ohio – Garrett Wilson will always be grateful for his father Kenny, who raised him around football. The father-son duo spent all of Garrett’s childhood around the sport while he grew up in Austin, Texas. From Pop Warner to 7-on-7 Select to eventually attending Ohio State and becoming one of the most talented receivers, Garrett credits his inseparable bond with his father.
“I actually grew up a die-hard Eagles fan,” Wilson told The Inquirer earlier this week. “I was a quarterback when I was a younger and the Eagles have paved the way for Black quarterbacks to look up to with [Michael] Vick, [Randall] Cunningham, [Donovan] McNabb, and now Jalen Hurts. So being a young dude in a quarterback family, I flocked to them.
Olave and Wilson had a first-person look at the former Heisman Trophy award winner during the 2020 national championship game, when Smith torched Ohio State for 12 receptions, 215 yards and three touchdowns en route to leading Alabama to the 54-24 victory.
