Florida True Freshman Dallas Wilson Shines & Honors Late Mom
Coach Billy Napier and the Florida Gators football team got a much-needed spark in the wide receiver room from true freshman wide receiver Dallas Wilson.
The Tampa native and class of 2025 4-star signee made an instant impact in his 1st start with the Gators yesterday against No. 9 Texas. He recorded 6 receptions for 111 yards and two touchdowns, which helped lift Florida to a massive win over the Longhorns in the Swamp (29-21).
Wilson broke multiple Gator true freshman records, becoming the 1st Florida wideout to have 100+ receiving yards and catch a touchdown in his 1st career start.
After the game, Wilson was asked during his post-game press conference, "Where does his confidence come from?" He responded by saying, “I say from my mother. My mom had passed, her name Lisa. She was very confident. She believed she could do anything in the world, and I guess that just carried on to me.”
While playing a key role in one of the biggest wins of the Billy Napier era, Dallas Wilson had “Lisa Son” on his eyeblack, honoring his mom.
