Marvin Wilson

The big dog on the defensive line has been a man among boys and is already garnering praise for potentially being a first round NFL Draft pick.

Wilson has been nearly unstoppable while dominating opposing offensive lines. He also is over halfway past his tackle total from a year ago and has already surpassed his tackles for loss total from last year.

Wilson is the key to the FSU defense as he causes havoc on every play. He affects opposing teams trying to run the ball and gets great pressure by collapsing the pocket in the passing game.

He’s often facing double teams and teams literally game planning to negate his presence on the line of scrimmage each game.

A lot of the things he does doesn’t show up on the stat sheet, but he’s the most valuable player on this defense.

FSU fans better enjoy watching No. 21 and it’s likely the final year we’ll see him in garnet and gold.
