Future Zahir Wilson is already looking ahead to his college future.
The 11-year-old recently opened up about a college visit with NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, sharing that he had “a really good time” touring the University of Texas together. Speaking with E! News at the Fashion Scholarship Fund’s FSF LIVE Gala 2026 on March 23, Future reflected on the experience, which included exploring the school’s athletic programs.
“I’d be really happy going there in the future,” he said. “I had a really good time going there with my dad. It was just a really good experience for me and him.”
Russell Wilson has helped raise Future alongside Ciara, who shares her eldest son with rapper Future.
The quarterback also spoke about his stepson’s growing interest in sports, noting that he sees strong potential across multiple areas.
“I think the cool part with sports nowadays is that kids get recruited, they get looked at early,” he said. “So, just to be able to take him to a school where he would dream about playing… He’s so good at basketball, football, baseball. He’s got a bright, bright future.”
The conversation also turned to Ciara and Russell’s daughter, Sienna Princess Wilson, who is already showing strong athletic interests. The 8-year-old said she would be open to playing football if given the opportunity.
“If they make a football team for the girls, I’d do that,” she said. “If they make one, which they should. I want to play tackle ball.”
Ciara also spoke about Sienna’s confidence and drive, and pointed to the growing opportunities for girls in sports.
“She’s such a little athlete like me, but she’s also a sassafras,” she said. “She loves playing flag football. She’s really tough, but I love that because you think about the world of women in sports. I love that, at such a young age, she’s so fearless and believes in herself. So why not girls, baby!”
In addition to Sienna and Future, Ciara and Russell are also parents to Win Harrison, 5, and Amora Princess, 2.
