2020 (Senior)
Boe Wilson played in four games as a senior, including starting the first two games of the season. Wilson started at left guard for the first time in his career in the Huskers' opener at No. 5 Ohio State, and he started at right guard at Northwestern, which marked his 23rd consecutive start. He also saw playing time at right guard against Illinois and Iowa. His play helped Nebraska rank second in the Big Ten in rushing yards per game.
2019 (Junior)
Wilson started every game at right guard in his junior season, stretching his streak to 21 consecutive starts at the position. Wilson was a key part of a Husker offensive line that helped Nebraska rank third in the Big Ten in rushing offense and fifth in total offense.
Wilson was a major reason Nebraska produced its most yards ever in a Big Ten Conference game (690 yards at Illinois), while tying its most points in a Big Ten game (54 at Maryland). Against Illinois, the Huskers totaled 300 yards rushing and 300 yards passing for just the second time in school history en route to gaining the most yards in any conference game since 2007. Nebraska also set a school record for team completion percentage against Indiana (87.0 percent).
2018 (Sophomore)
Wilson played in all 12 games as a sophomore, starting the final nine contests at right guard while earning honorable-mention All-Big Ten accolades. In his nine starts at right guard, Nebraska averaged 490.3 yards of total offense per game, helping the Huskers rank 25th nationally in total offense in 2018. Nebraska posted its most yards (659 against Minnesota) and highest point total (54 against Illinois) in a Big Ten Conference game since the Huskers joined the league in 2011. The line helped Stanley Morgan Jr. become the first 1,000-yard receiver in school history, while Adrian Martinez averaged a school-record 295.1 yards of total offense per game in 2018. Wilson’s blocking also helped Devine Ozigbo rush for more than 1,000 yards.
Wilson earned the first start of his career against Purdue, when the Huskers totaled 582 yards of offense. The next week at No. 16 Wisconsin, NU again totaled more than 500 yards. Against Minnesota, Nebraska rolled up 659 yards, the Huskers’ highest total since 2014. In the final game of a school-record streak of seven consecutive games gaining at least 450 yards, Wilson and the line helped Nebraska gain 606 yards in a win over Illinois.
2017 (Redshirt Freshman)
Wilson appeared in all 12 games as a redshirt freshman, seeing action on the offensive line, on special teams and even as a goal-line fullback late in the season. He was most utilized as a shield protector on Nebraska’s punt unit. Wilson also added depth to an offensive line that helped Nebraska rank second in the Big Ten in passing yards per game and throw for 3,330 yards, the fifth-highest total in school history. The line protected Tanner Lee as he threw for 3,143 yards in his only season as a Husker, while Stanley Morgan Jr. set a school record with 986 receiving yards and JD Spielman posted the first 200-yard receiving game in school history against No. 9 Ohio State.
2016 (Redshirt)
Wilson spent time with the top offensive unit in preseason practice before coaches elected to utilize his redshirt season.
Before Nebraska (Lee's Summit West HS)
Wilson was a three-year standout for Lee’s Summit West and Coach Royce Boehm. As a senior, Wilson’s play helped Lee’s Summit West to a trip to the second round of the Class 6 state playoffs. Wilson’s blocking helped the offense top 30 points in six games during the 2015 season. Wilson was named to the USA Today Missouri all-state team.
Wilson also helped his school to a state playoff appearance in 2014, when Lee’s Summit West posted a 6-4 mark. Lee’s Summit had a powerful offense in 2014, averaging nearly 375 yards of total offense per game. His play as a junior earned Wilson first-team all-conference honors.
Wilson was a second-team all-state selection as a sophomore in 2013 when Lee’s Summit West went 13-1 and captured the Class 5 state title.
Wilson participated in the Under Armour All-American game in January of 2016. He was ranked among the top 10 offensive guards in the country by both Scout.com and ESPN. He was also listed as a top 10 prospect in the state by both ESPN and 247Sports. Wilson also threw the shot put and discus. Wilson did not take any other visits, but had a strong group of offers including Indiana, Kansas, Louisville and Purdue.
