Wilson attended Orange High School in Hillsborough, North Carolina and played both baseball and football. As a senior, he was named The News & Observer's high school athlete of the year. That year, Wilson pitched to a 10–2 record, with six shutouts and three no-hitters, as well as a perfect game in the 3A playoffs. In his high school career, he won 33 games, and lost only four. Wilson was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the fourth round of the 2016 Major League Baseball Draft, 109th overall, and offered a $1.2 million signing bonus.

Wilson made his professional debut with the Gulf Coast Braves, going 1–1 with a 0.68 ERA in 26.2 innings pitched. He spent 2017 with the Rome Braves and was selected to the South Atlantic League All-Star Game. Wilson posted a 10–7 record, 2.50 ERA, and 139 strikeouts in 137 total innings pitched for Rome. He began the 2018 season with the Florida Fire Frogs, and in May, was promoted to the Mississippi Braves. On July 31, Wilson joined the Gwinnett Stripers. Across three minor league levels prior to his promotion to the major leagues, Wilson started 23 games, compiling an 8–5 win–loss record and 3.23 ERA.

Wilson was promoted to the major leagues on August 20, 2018, and debuted the same day against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Wilson pitched five innings, yielding three hits and three walks alongside five strikeouts. He earned the victory in the Braves' 1–0 win, and became the youngest pitcher to win his debut by that score. Wilson was optioned to Gwinnett after the game.

In 2020, he was 1–0 with one save and a 4.02 ERA in 15.2 innings over six games (two starts).
