Drip Wilson was born on May 4, 1907, in Sharon, Pennsylvania.[1] He attended high school in Sharon before playing college football at St. Bonaventure. Fewer than fifteen people from St. Bonaventure ever played professionally.[2]
After playing at St. Bonaventure, he played professionally for one season with the Cleveland Indians of the National Football League (NFL);[3] however, Wilson only made one appearance with the Indians, which folded the next season, ending his playing career.[4]
After playing professionally, he served as an assistant coach for Albion and Lawrence Park during four seasons.[5]
He then accepted a position with an industrial firm in Massillon, Ohio.
Wilson died on November 25, 1950, in Massillon. His cause of death was reportedly a heart attack caused by shoveling snow in his driveway.[6] He was buried at St. Mary's Cemetery in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.
