John Wilson

Sports Reporter

wilson@kbtx.com


John Wilson is a graduate of Sam Houston State University. Before he came to KBTX, he spent a few years as the Sports Director for KRBC-TV in Abilene. 

John is excited about the opportunity to cover sports in the Brazos Valley with great high school programs and Texas A&M in the Big XII Conference. 

When John is not at work you will probably find him on a golf course or traveling to California to visit his two nieces, who never fail to amaze him. John is proud to now call the Brazos Valley his home.
