Height/Weight: 6'2", 220 lbs
High School: Carver (Montgomery, Alabama)
247 Ranking: No. 2 OLB/No. 8 Overall
Bleacher Report Score: 91/100
Lyndell Wilson is determined to keep all of his options open, but on Jan. 22, he announced his top seven schools via Twitter. Oregon, Alabama, Auburn, Louisville, Tennessee, Georgia and USC all made the list, although there is still time for other schools to make their way up Wilson's ladder.
Alabama is a strong contender in Wilson's recruiting race. He's made multiple unofficial visits to Tuscaloosa, but he's also visited Auburn and Tennessee, according to 247Sports.
Bleacher Report Analysis
Although Wilson is an outstanding tackler and a physical athlete, his instincts are among his best qualities. He is quick to read a play and make the right decision. Wilson brings a level of toughness to a defensive front seven, and his tenacity will be welcomed at the next level.

Why He's Worth the Hype
Rashan Gary has massive shoes to fill as the nation's top defensive tackle prospect, replacing 5-star Georgia signee Trent Thompson. Still, the 6'4", 285-pound prospect appears primed to make a run at the No. 1 overall spot in recruit rankings.
He racked up 55 tackles—including 24 for loss—14 sacks and 24 quarterback hurries last season, according to Hunt of NJ.com. I scouted Gary when he took on 4-star quarterback Jarrett Guarantano and Bergen Catholic last October, watching him tally five sacks and a punt block that resulted in a touchdown return for the dominant defensive lineman.
"He's isn't just big; he's fast off the ball and stays low," 5-star Florida signee Martez Ivey told me after competing against him last summer. "He's very physical too and doesn't let opponents get into his head. That's great to see out of a young guy."
Gary, who is considering an expansive list of options that includes Ohio State, Alabama, Rutgers and Michigan, impressed as a rare underclassman selection at the 2014 edition of The Opening.
"He was great and we all noticed it throughout the week," 5-star Texas A&M defensive tackle signee Daylon Mack said. "You're watching a 2016 guy with big size, rare speed and dreadlocks that make him look dangerous. Some might have questioned his toughness, but when Rashan put on the pads, he didn't disappoint."
