Bio
2019 Honorable Mention All-Big 12 (Coaches)
A versatile performer who served as part of the team’s core group of leaders.
2019 (Senior): An honorable mention All-Big 12 performer who started all 12 games in which he saw action ... Of his 12 starts, 11 came at center and one came at right guard ... Served as a game captain against Texas ... An important part of a offensive line that paved the way for Chuba Hubbard to lead the FBS in rushing yards and earn All-America and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year status ... Helped the Cowboys average 229.6 rushing yards per game - OSU’s highest average since 2008 ... A factor in the Cowboys ranking in the top 25 nationally in rushing offense, total offense and red zone offense.
2018 (Junior): Starting center in all but one game ... Helped pave the way for a Cowboy offense that ranked in the top 15 nationally in scoring offense, total offense, passing offense and first downs ... The Cowboys had 30 rushing touchdowns, averaged 4.8 yards per carry and 190.3 rushing yards per game ... The rushing yards per carry and rushing yards per attempt numbers are the best for an OSU team since 2012 ... Helped pave the way for one of the best team rushing performances of the Mike Gundy era (2005-present), when he opened up holes for a 431-yard rushing day for the Pokes in the season opener against Missouri State ... OSU had four games with 200 or more yards rushing.
2017 (Sophomore): Saw action in all 13 games ... Broke into the starting lineup at right guard against TCU in week four and was slated to stay in that spot until he had to move to center during the second quarter of the following week’s game at Texas Tech due to an injury to Brad Lundblade ... Started the next two games at center before returning to right guard and staying there for the rest of the season ... Recognized by the coaches as OSU’s offensive player of the game in the Pokes’ win at Texas ... With Wilson playing an important role, the Cowboys finished as the FBS leaders in passing offense, ranked second in total offense and fourth in scoring offense ... He helped Oklahoma State become the first team in Big 12 history to have a 4,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard receivers and a 1,000-yard rusher in the same season.
2016 (Freshman): Earned his spot as the second-team center during preseason camp and held that position all season but only saw game action three times - in the opener at Southeastern Louisiana, at Kansas and in the Cowboys’ Alamo Bowl win over No. 10 Colorado.
2015: Redshirt.
High School: Played for coach Greg McClendon at Midland Christian … A four-star prospect by ESPN, which ranked him as the No. 34 offensive tackle nationally ... Honored on the TAPPS Division I all-state first team as a senior, junior and sophomore and received second team honors as a freshman … All-district first team all four years of high school … Named to the academic all-state team … Competed in track and field as well … Early commitment that accepted first scholarship offer from Oklahoma State.
Personal: Johnny Lewis Wilson was born March 30, 1997, in Midland, Texas …Son of Kevin and Leslie Wilson … Father, Kevin played college football and mother, Leslie, played college basketball.
