Wilson signed over the weekend moments after the seven-round NFL draft was completed. Wilson, an Associated Press third-team NCAA Division I-AA All-American, reports Friday for physicals and a team mini-camp.

White, who set state rushing records during a superlative career at Crespi High, signed as a free agent earlier this spring and already has participated in a Packer mini-camp, according to Angelo Wright, the agent for both players.

Wilson (6-foot-2, 290 pounds) played two seasons at Northridge and finished with 15 sacks, the second-highest total in school history. “Now I work hard for the next four months and hope for the best,” Wilson said.

White was drafted in the third round by the Rams in 1993, but played sparingly behind Jerome Bettis and later was released.

White, who gained 1,000 or more yards in three different seasons at Cal, did not play in 1994.

White (6-0, 210) rushed for 5,998 yards from 1986-88 at Crespi, then a state record.
