Wilson saw success in his first season with the program in 2022-23, as Army boasted a 20-13 record overall including a 6-1 mark in the Patriot League which secured the No. 2 seed in the postseason. Led by All-Patriot League first team honorees AJ Woodman and Thomas Lake, Army went on to play postseason tennis at the inaugural Universal Tennis NIT Championship in Atlanta.

In his second campaign with the Black Knights, Army extended its streak to 30 straight seasons of reaching the Patriot League Tournament semifinals following a quarterfinal victory over Lehigh while Jake Huarte earned All-Patriot Leauge First Team honors in the process.

The women's tennis team engineered an 11-win turnaround in 2015 and finished as the runner-up in the regular season and conference tournament. They finished the season ranked 10th in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Wilson helped recruit the 17^th ranked recruiting class in Division III, a first for the program.

He was the USTA 16s Zonals coach from 2017-19, winning the team championship in 2018. Wilson was a part of Tennis: Europe during the 2017-18 season where he coached and traveled with nationally ranked juniors from the United States. The 2018 team had the highest ranked American juniors in program history.
