ROCKWALL – Reese Wilson turned 18 on Tuesday, but he didn’t have big party plans. The Rockwall-Heath cornerback planned to take it easy, which is something he doesn’t do very often.
“I can’t stand being idle,” he said. “I get bored.”
That’s obvious in what the senior accomplished in his first 17 years and 364 days. He climbed to No. 1 in the Rockwall-Heath Class of 2014, earned a perfect score on the math section of the SAT and was named a National Merit Semifinalist. He was selected as the class president and the homecoming king, he was a standout delegate in the statewide Youth and Government program, and he went on nearly a dozen church mission trips.
And that was after Wilson, who has 14 tackles, a forced fumble and a pass breakup this season for Rockwall-Heath (4-1), decided to slow down a bit. A couple of years ago, he told his parents that he was ready to retire from modeling and acting.
Wilson, whose older brother Charlie played safety for Rockwall-Heath and is a now a medical student at UT-Houston, did modeling work for companies such as Dillard’s and J.C. Penney. He was also in several commercials, but his biggest acting credit is his three-year run as Ryan, in which he went on adventures with a famous purple dinosaur.
Yeah, Wilson was on “Barney & Friends.” So was his older sister, Molly, who is now a freshman at Dallas Baptist."
The writer also posted a video of Reese on Barney.
Fun stuff . . .
