BIOGRAPHY

Marco Wilson was born March 3, 1999 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is a cornerback in the National Football League.

Wilson attended the American Heritage School and committed to play college football at Florida over offers from Miami (Fl.), Georgia, Ohio State and Southern California. Wilson started as a true freshman and recorded 34 tackles and 10 passes broken up. He was named preseason third-team All-SEC going into his sophomore year but tore his ACL two games into the season and redshirted the rest of the season. As a redshirt sophomore, he recorded 36 tackles, 2.5 tackles for a loss, 3 interceptions, and 2 passes broken up. As a junior, he had a notable incident involving throwing a shoe in a celebratory manner late during a game played on December 12, 2020, against the LSU Tigers, which resulted in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that gave LSU a first down. LSU would go on to win the game after kicking a field goal later that drive, beating the Gators 37–34. Wilson was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the 4th round with the 136th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft.
