Tyree Jae Wilson (born May 20, 2000) is an American professional football defensive end for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL).

Wilson was rated a three-star recruit and initially committed to play college football at Washington State before decommitting before the start of his senior year. He ultimately committed to play at Texas A&M.
Wilson began his college career at Texas A&M and redshirted his true freshman season. As a redshirt freshman he played in 12 games and made 12 tackles with three tackles for loss and one sack. Wilson entered the NCAA transfer portal after the end of the season.
