Conway Wampus Cat senior quarterback Grayson Wilson signed his letter of intent to play football for the Razorbacks on Dec. 4 at a reception with his family, friends, coaches and teammates at the Wampus Cat Indoor Facility. He will receive a full athletic scholarship to the University of Arkansas.

Wilson transferred to Conway from Central Arkansas Christian for his senior season. He played eight games for the Wampus Cats and accumulated impressive numbers. He completed 68 percent of his passes, throwing for 2,069 yards and 20 touchdowns. He also rushed for 295 yards and 15 touchdowns. Wilson helped lead the Wampus Cats to their fifth-straight 7A semifinals. 

“It’s pretty easy to be impressed with Grayson from an athletic ability perspective,” said Tim Roach, color analyst for Wampus Cat football on Conway Corp. “He’s big, tall, athletic and has great presence in the pocket. He can throw on the run, is accurate with all of the passes, can run the ball with the best of any quarterbacks in the state, has excellent vision, and is an incredible manager of the offense. If you look at his numbers, he only played about half of the games, and in most of those games only played until halftime. That’s an amazing stat line. 

“What I think is more impressive, though, was his ability to come in as a senior, with all the accolades, the commitment to the University of Arkansas, and really jump in immediately to take control of this team and its offense,” Roach continued. “I talked to Grayson throughout the year. He is a quiet guy, but he has that special element. You can just tell he has IT — whatever IT is. He has such a calm but confident demeanor. He looks you in the eye and doesn’t back down from the hard questions. The Razorbacks have themselves a special young man, and I can’t wait to see what he does up on the Hill.”
