Does Quincy Wilson's support for Solai Russell's family redefine what it means to be a gentleman?

Quincy Wilson was seen taking the internet by storm with his girlfriend Solai Russell. Now, he is extending his full-fledged support towards her family members as well. Solai Russell, who is the younger sister of Olympic gold medalist Masai Russell, is a longtime acquaintance of Wilson. Attending the Bullis School in Maryland, Wilson and Solai are childhood friends. Turning their friendship into romance, the duo has been making ripples of late. 

Coming in for the homecoming alongside Wilson, Solai stunned the social media as she donned a strapless metallic green dress. She paired it up with a corsage and a pair of golden-colored high heels. Posting the pictures on her Instagram, the couple received significant love and appreciation from Solai’s sister and mother. Now, expressing further inclination towards a strong family tie, Quincy Wilson has been seen supporting his girlfriend’s brother, Zion Russell. 

Russell, who is a professional basketball athlete, is currently signed up with the Niagara Purple Eagles. Posting a clip from their recent match-up with Houghton, Wilson took to his Instagram story and wrote, “Tuned in Etherealzionrussell.” This was indeed a heartfelt gesture from the youngest US track and field Olympic gold medalist. And adding to his joy, the Niagara Purple Eagles managed to notch up a 100-65 victory.

As a matter of fact, Russell impressed initially as a NIU redshirt sophomore guard. Changing colors in the 2024-25 season, Russell became one of the seven Huskies who swapped their jersey colors from 2023-24. Playing for the Huskies, Russell featured in 31 games, with an average of 3.7 points, 1.3 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game. Interestingly, he also recorded 21 steals throughout the course of his stay at NIU.

Coming back to Quincy Wilson, he will be looking to balance his academics with his track and field career. However, apart from his incredible career achievements, Wilson also seems to be becoming quite a family man. While supporting Zion Russell was not enough, one of Wilson’s gentlemanly gestures earned him significant praise.
