The root of the Everett Wildcat franchise had it's beginnings in 1926 when a traveling team was formed out of Chicago, Illinois to consist of 20 players selected by George Wilson, 1925 UW All-American legend. These players known as "Wilson's Wildcats" would go up against Red Grange and his traveling all-stars (Chicago Bears) in a barnstorming event with plans for a European tour after east coast exhibitions. From 1927-1928, Wilson played with the Providence Steamrollers winning the 1928 pre-NFL championship.

Returning to Everett, Washington, George "Wildcat" Wilson created an Everett football team that bordered on being professional in 1930 after Wilson had gone toe-to-toe with Red Grange to prove the Northwest could hang with the Eastern teams.

The Wildcats would take on a bad-boys reputation remeniscent of the Oakland Raiders of the NFL some 40-years later. Romeo Lauzon, center would be convicted of manslaughter in 1930 after driving off a bridge and killing passenger James Cochrane. Wilson would have an arrest warrent issued in January of 1931 for a hit-and-run that injured C.H. Bean. In August, George "Wildcat" Wilson began training as a professional wrestler. Packed with former University of Washington including former standouts Westerweller, Abernathy, Sievers, the Wildcats dominated opponents early with four straight shut-out victories. Roy Sievers scored both touchdowns in the win over the USS West Virginia Shipmen, one a reception that covered 45-yeards, the second a fumble recovery in the endzone following a muffed punt in the opener. The West Seattle Yellowjackets would prove to be the Wildcat nemesis in a 3-0 loss to halt a 5-game win streak, and again in the Northwest Independent Championship 14-0.

Following the 1932 season, Luke Abernathy, the teams' top tackle left for the West Seattle Yellowjackets.

Wilson would be inducted into the UW Hall of Fame in 1951 and the University retired his jersey number 33.
