Wilson’s drive to be the best brought him to Florida

Florida early enrollee safety Kamari Wilson has never been one to shy away from competition. In fact, he embraces it and uses it as fuel. He’s wanted to be the very best at everything he’s done since he was a little kid.

He grew up in an athletic family. His brother, T.J. Wilson, played football at Brevard College, a Division 3 program in North Carolina. His sister, Taneria Wilson, played professional basketball in Romania for a year. His half-brother, Terrance, played college basketball.

Despite being the youngest of the bunch, Kamari always tried to outperform his siblings, which required a lot of hard work and dedication from an early age.
