After excelling at Decatur High School, he earned his associate degree at Georgia Military Junior College and went on to star at Appalachian State University, where he majored in communications and advertising.
Undrafted in 2001, Wilcox defied the odds by signing with the New York Jets and later contributed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ first Super Bowl win in 2002. He further showcased his talents with the Baltimore Ravens in 2004, where he solidified his career as a reliable tight end.
