Former VHS football star Paul Wilson to play his senior season at West Alabama

Former Vicksburg High cornerback Paul Wilson is entering his first year of playing eligibility at West Alabama University after transferring from the University of North Colorado last season.

Wilson is a 2016 graduate of VHS where he shined on the gridiron for the Gators, helping them to a playoff appearance in 2015. At VHS, Wilson had a total of 75 tackles, one sack, one interception and caused 13 fumbles.

He committed to Copiah-Lincoln Community College in 2016. Wilson immediately made an impact at Co-Lin by recording  54 tackles, two sacks, five tackles for loss, two interceptions and three broken up passes in his two seasons at the school.

In 2018, Wilson left Co-Lin to play for the University of North Colorado. Wilson appeared in 11 games during the 2018 season where he had 21 tackles and 15 solos.

Wilson transferred from North Colorado to the University of West Alabama in 2019, where he had to sit out the 2019 football season due to NCAA transfer rules.

He is now prepared to play his final collegiate football season at UWA where he plans to make an impact as he did at every school he attended.

Wilson will play his first game this year on Sept. 3 against Tusculum University in Tennessee.
