Jared Wilson is a 6'3", 310-pound center from Charlotte, North Carolina, who played college football at the University of Georgia. A three-star recruit in the 2021 class, he redshirted his first year and spent the next two seasons as a backup. In 2024, he became the Bulldogs' starting center, earning Second-Team All-SEC honors after allowing zero sacks, zero quarterback hits, and only four hurries over 431 pass-blocking snaps. He also posted a 77.9 run-blocking grade, showcasing his versatility in both pass protection and run blocking.
Wilson's athleticism was on full display at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, where he ran a 4.84-second 40-yard dash—the fastest among centers—and recorded a 9.98 Relative Athletic Score (RAS), ranking second out of 622 centers since 1987. Following his impressive combine performance, he was selected by the New England Patriots in the third round (95th overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft. Scouts have praised his quickness, lateral agility, and ability to mirror pass rushers, viewing him as a promising depth piece with long-term starting potential at center.
