As the season's progressed, I've continued to try to find a current or recent NFL RB to compare Wilson to.

Wilson's listed at 6-0 / 194 which is a pretty unique combination as most NFL prospects his height are heavier and those at his weight are a few inches shorter.

Finally, though, I think I may have found a reasonable comparison...

Ahmad Bradshaw

Bradshaw's measurements: 5-11, 195lb

When I'm watching a Bradshaw highlight package (particularly from Marshall), I think I see a bit of Wilson there.

Thoughts?

Bradshaw is a good comparison because of size, coming from a non-traditional Football school.. Bradshaw also seemed to be a winner, but that maybe because he was just on winning teams but Wilson seems to be a winner by giving 100% every play he can.. Also, the injury bug was something that Bradshaw had as well..

Not a lot heavier... But just over 200 pounds. Im betting he loses weight  as the season progresses.

He's heavier than that.  

 

Out nutrition folks have been doing an incredible job this year.   Kudos to The Wren™ for finding the monies he did for the table.

Wasn't Wilson around 205 to start the year?

I thought/believe that SL said at the coaches show that Wilson had lost weight, but was/had regained it during the bye week?

I don't think it is much heavier than 205.  What I have noticed is that he is incredibly lean and appears quite a bit faster than he was last year.  He is running away from people.  I saw it first in the Lamar game and thought, well, that's Lamar, but he has also done it against Iowa and Southern Miss.

Jeffrey Wilson runs like Demarco Murray did when I got to watch him in my one year at OU. Not quite as powerful as Demarco but makes the same cuts at the same speed.  He's special.  It's too bad he was hampered by all the things we are finally caught up on from a nutrition/wellness perspective.  Oh what could have been.

I remember Demarco at OU and I only went to UNT, 79-10 is hard to forget.

I think Wilson will play at the next level, but I think he will be used like Dunbar has been used. Mainly as a 3rd down back on passing downs. Something to get him out in space. I highly doubt if teams will look at him as a 1st and 2nd down back. Until he reaches age 25, he is going to continue to struggle to maintain weight. Once the metabolism slows, then he will maintain that weight.

      A few HSO's

      I was kind of hoping this HSO thread would help me get over the hump and renew the two season tickets I’ve had since the days of dirt at Fouts Field and the old cement urinals there. Unfortunately I, probably like some others, can’t seem to generate any old fashioned enthusiasm for the new version of “ here today gone tomorrow, pass through jocks . Somehow there just seems to be a missing piece; commitment, loyalty, alma mater. Yesterday’s discarded intangibles. Well, today is deadline day, can I break an old habit?

      If…..

      I gave you a +1, but I also suspect he would not get along with the Grants and Ross's of our world. Would be loads of fun and wins, though.

      Best BBQ in each Texas college football town

      For anyone who hasn't experienced the greatness of Hutchins, you should treat yourself the next time you are in either Frisco or McKinney. Some of the best brisket I've had (and other good stuff too). And... since UNT has expanded into Frisco, I guess we can claim Hutchins as a UNT BBQ place 😎

      A few HSO's

      There’s no contradiction. The average fan/alumni aren’t paying NIL, it’s the big donors and corporations. And they’re only doing it because that’s the way it is under the current, broken system. My 2nd point is that comparing college coaches with college players is neither a fair nor equal comparison.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      No Way Jose! Just the opportunity for him to get out of Jersey is payment enough!
