Wilson had the Cowgirls back in the ASC Tournament in 2025 with a record of 32-10. He was named the ASC co-coach of the year after the Cowgirls finished ranked second in the ASC. He coached the ASC MVP and three total major ASC award winners in 2025. That season, three Cowgirls were named NFCA all-region and one was a finalist for DIII freshman of the year.

Coach Wilson led the Cowgirls to the ASC Tournament in his first year in 2024 with a final record of 26-14.
 
Wilson is a familiar name around Abilene as he has most recently served as the head coach of the Abilene Christian women's soccer team. He started that program from scratch in 2007 and had a career record of 167-117-28 in his 16 seasons.  Wilson was hired as ACU’s assistant softball coach in 2005 and served as the program’s recruiting coordinator and hitting coach. During his six-year tenure in that position the Wildcats amassed an overall record of 193-138, which included four trips to the national tournament (2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009), three LSC Tournament championship game appearances, and two LSC South Division titles (2006, 2009).  Wilson simultaneously served as ACU’s head soccer coach and assistant softball coach from 2007 to 2010.
 
"Those six years at ACU coaching softball were some of the most enjoyable times of my life as a coach," said Wilson. "I appreciate the administration -- president Bruntmyer, Dr. McNair and Dr. Neese -- showing confidence in me. I am thankful for the opportunity."  
 
A three-sport (soccer, football and baseball) standout at Canyon High School in Anaheim Hills, Calif., Wilson attended both Santa Ana College and Central Michigan University before transferring to ACU in 1998. Wilson graduated the following year with B.B.A. in marketing and later received his M.B.A. with an emphasis in entrepreneurship from Concordia University in California. He earned a National Diploma from the NSCAA in the summer of 2011 and an Advanced National Diploma in the summer of 2015.
 
An All-America placekicker in football for Santa Ana, Wilson would finish his gridiron career at Central Michigan where in 1996 he set the school record for PATs in a season (45), a record that stood until 2006 when Rick Albreski hit 48.
 
Wilson transferred to ACU in 1998 and played baseball for head coach Britt Bonneau for two seasons. He hit .300 in 1998 for the Wildcats.
 
Wilson is the father to twin sons, Hayden and Tanner, and daughters, Mary Collins and June. He and his wife, Julie, reside in Abilene.
