Seminoles add a tight end in UCLA grad transfer Wilson

Florida State has landed UCLA graduate transfer tight end Jordan Wilson, who will help the Seminoles bolster their depth at the position.

“I’ll never question why God put me on the path that he did and I’m forever grateful for the doors he opened along the way. #Committed #OneTribe,” Wilson posted on Twitter Saturday night.

Wilson is a graduate transfer who played 34 games during three seasons at UCLA. The former three-star prospect out of Nashville, Tenn., recorded 25 catches for 244 yards and two touchdowns during his career with the Bruins.

He is expected to be eligible to play the 2020 season. Wilson will help offset the loss of tight ends Tre’ McKitty, who transferred, and Gabe Nabers, who graduated.

Wilson told Noles247.com he developed a strong connection with FSU coach Mike Norvell and offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham.

“Coach Dillingham has the perfect offense for my skillset and can use me in many ways to show my versatility and help the offense as a whole,” Wilson told Noles247.com. “My size and speed creates huge match-up problems against any defense. I run routes like a wideout but also have the technique and strength to execute big blocks in the run game.”
