Only the Bengals were worse at 60.<\/p>\n Wilson, who played at the University of Wyoming from 2016-19, was Cincinnati’s third-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft. He made an immediate impact, tallying 33 tackles and picking off two passes. He added 100 stops and four interceptions in his second season. The last one was a tipped pass off the right arm of Ryan Tannehill that sealed the Bengals first road playoff win in franchise history.<\/p>\n Cincinnati would eventually fall to the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI.<\/p>\n Wilson, who would sign a 4-yearcontract extension in 2023, capped his career in the Queen City with 495 tackles in 76 games. He also logged 5.5 sacks and picked off 11 passes.<\/p>\n During his time in Laramie, the former Natrona County High School star was named the Mountain West Freshman of the Year as a rookie and landed First Team honors as a senior. He hauled in 10 interceptions, returning two for touchdowns. He finished his college career with 421 tackles, 35 tackles for loss and seven sacks.<\/p>\n Wilson announced last week he will be again hosting a pair of youth football camps in his home state. The first one will take place Saturday, June 6 inside Laramie’s War Memorial Stadium. The Casper camp will be held Saturday, June 20 at Cheney Field. Both go from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.<\/p>\n For more information and to register, visit LoganWilsonEvents.com.<\/p>\n University of Wyoming\u2019s Top 50 Football Players<\/p>\n The rules are simple: What was the player’s impact while in Laramie?
