But at Maryland, it was not just about football for Wilson.
“My experience at Maryland gave me the opportunity to be able to be more than just a football player,” Wilson said.
Wilson was a business student at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, which he claims helped him immensely during his post-football life. He was introduced to business strategies that he still uses today. Wilson runs a real estate investment company in Washington, D.C., which he has had success in investing in several projects.
“Maryland gave me access to a top business school, access to internship or mentorship with former graduates, and? access to a true diverse campus that prepared me to be ready to navigate smoothly into the business world,” he said.
Wilson went on to be drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He spent nine seasons playing professionally for the Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins and Atlanta Falcons.
After his near-decade career, he went back to college at George Washington University for his MBA and in May 2021 he will graduate from Georgetown University with a Master’s Degree in real estate.
These opportunities continue to tie back to Wilson’s scholarship at Maryland.
“Being on scholarship was the only way I was going to be able to go to any college,” Wilson said. “I knew for my future, whether it was in football or the business world, I needed to give myself the best opportunity to be successful and being on scholarship was the only way.
