Wilson mans the backline of the Dallas Texans U17 team that will be tested against Sporting Blue Valley, Beach FC and FL Premier FC in Florida. Capable of playing on both outside back spots and also higher up on the field, she brings a lot to the team with her versatility and well-rounded game.

Wilson’s Dallas Texans team ended the tournament with a negative record of one win and two losses. They had a difficult debut, falling to San Diego Surf 4-1, but she was still able to put on a solid shift for them at left back. Wilson was very solid defensively, and, even being under pressure for most of the time as San Diego dominated possession, she won most of the duels in her side of the field. She moved to midfield during the match and helped her team be more competitive in the central are of the field, playing with great energy and determination. Wilson also helped initiate some of the team’s offensive plays with her quick, smart passing.

Wilson is a key piece in the backline of her Dallas Texans G09 ECNL team. She can play center back or outside back and wherever she is, she’ll help the team by making big defensive stops. Wilson is very athletic and uses her physical tools extremely well to dispossess opponents, but also thrives by reading the game and cutting passing lanes. She’s also a solid player in possession with her ability to hit long passes and to drive the ball forward.

Wilson was outstanding against Surf. She won so many tackles and made a number of key plays to stop the onslaught from one of the top teams in the country. Her passing out of the pressure could’ve been better on the day, but it’s hard to argue with how important she was defensively in that game. Some of the athletic slide tackles she had to cut out passes were jaw-dropping good. She had a player of the match performance. Isabella Byrd Isabella Byrd 5'3" | D/M Mansfield | 2027 State TX was also a standout from the Texans defense. She did well in the second half in shutting don the left side of the Surf attack. She also had a sublime assist to Amira Kamara Amira Kamara F TX in the second half that showed her quality on the ball – excellent vision, patience to wait for the run, and passing to find the target forward in that situation. Byrd will be one to watch for the next rankings update. Ryleigh Albin Ryleigh Albin 5'8" | D Marcus | 2027 State #147 Nation TX also had a very good showing at center back for Texans. Her tenacity and leadership set the tone from the comeback victory.
