Larry Wilson enters his fourth year at California University of Pennsylvania as the wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator.
In last year’s historical 13-1 season, Wilson coached a pair of All-America specialists in kicker Tyler Lorenz and punter Jace Amore. Lorenz, who earned All-America honors from the AP, finished second in the country in field goals per game. Amore received second-team All-America accolades from Daktronics.
Wilson has also worked with some of the top wide receivers in recent PSAC history, including three-time, all-conference receiver Nate Forse, who finished his career among the school leaders in both receptions and receiving yards.
Prior to his time with the Vulcans, Wilson was no stranger to the PSAC as he played three seasons at conference-rival Slippery Rock University.
Wilson also brings head-coaching experience from the scholastic level as he served as the head coach at Frazier High School, where he was an all-state receiver, in nearby Perryopolis, Pa.
He graduated from Slippery Rock in 1999 with a bachelor’s degree in sports management. Wilson is currently pursing a master’s degree in arts of teaching at California.
Wilson and his wife Kristin live in North Huntingdon, Pa., with their son, Cooper.
