"It’s been surreal and it's really been like a dream. I'm having to check myself to see if this is really going on," he said.

"I've had a speckled past that I brought on myself and it's not like people are always in line wanting to say 'Hey, we want you. We recognize that you're a good person,'" Wilson said.
