PROVO, Utah – Former BYU quarterback Zach Wilson has become one of the biggest stories in the 2021 NFL draft. The blue-chip design prospectus has skyrocketed the number of drafting boards, signed advertising deals, and now murals are on display in his honor.
For this week’s NFL draft 2021, Bose Headphones will feature murals for three of the best prospects of this year’s draft. Wilson is one of the three. The other two are Trevor Lawrence from Clemon and Justin Fields from Ohio State.
Bose Headphones commissioned Manusina Art’s Aljay Fuimaono to create the Zach Wilson mural. The mural is located in Provo on Center Street near Guru’s and Good Move Cafe.
Fuimaono, who has a history of creating art for celebrities and athletes, lives in Utah in Vineyard. He was given the autonomy to deal creatively with the project. Fuimaono completed Wilson’s mural on Friday with a slogan that read, “Defeat the noise, rule the silence.”

The mural shows a portrait of Wilson on vinyl. Wilson’s jersey in Fuimaono’s art remained empty for the time being. Fuimaono and his team will return to the mural on Thursday evening to fill in the jersey for the team that will end up designing the former BYU star.

Wilson is not expected to wait long to hear his name Thursday night. All drafts currently stipulate that Wilson goes to the New York Jets with the 2nd overall victory. As soon as Wilson’s name is announced, Fuimaono and his team will complete the mural.
Zach Wilson and his family will be in Cleveland for the first round of the NFL Draft Thursday. Wilson becomes the first BYU player to be in the green in an NFL draft since Ziggy Ansah in 2013.
