Garrett Wilson was selected by the New York Jets as the 10th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, marking the culmination of an exceptional collegiate career at Ohio State University. During his time at Ohio State from 2019 to 2021, Wilson recorded a total of 143 receptions for 2,213 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns. In 2020, he made history as the second player in Ohio State history to achieve four consecutive games with over 100 receiving yards, earning First-team All-Big Ten honors the same year, followed by Second-team All-Big Ten in 2021. Prior to his collegiate success, Wilson set multiple high school records at Lake Travis High School, including 204 career receptions, 3,359 total yards, and 55 touchdowns, contributing to a 6A state championship win in 2016.
His consistent high-level performance has secured his long-term future with the New York Jets. In April 2025, the team exercised his fifth-year option, demonstrating their commitment. This was further solidified in July 2025 when Wilson signed a four-year, $130 million contract extension, underscoring his value as a cornerstone player for the franchise.
