Tallahassee (Fla.) Lincoln football coach Jimmie Tyson can’t help but marvel at the transformation of his four-star linebacker Raylen Wilson, a Michigan commit. Wilson was a 160-pound eighth grade “stick figure” when he first started working out with the Lincoln program. Now, at 213 pounds, he’s the Swiss Army knife of the team’s defense and a top-100 prospect in the 2023 recruiting class. “He’s had blazing speed, but over the last two years, he’s put on a whole lot of weight,” Tyson told MLive in a phone interview.
