Biography

Career: He has started 10 of the 25 games he has played in his career, but has missed 15 games because of injuries.
 
2016: Listed as a starter at running back on the preseason depth chart.
 
2015: Wilson started eight of the nine games he played, finishing as the team’s leading rusher with 661 yards and nine touchdowns. His nine scores were the fourth-most in the Big Sky, and his 73.4 average yards per game was 10th. He also had seven catches for another 61 yards, and missed the Northern Colorado (10/24/15) and Weber State (10/31/15) games with an ankle injury. He had a career-high 188 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 17 carries (10.5 per carry) in a 55-50 win over Montana State (9/19/15), including 105 in the first quarter alone. After a 3-yard gain on his first carry, he scored from 31 yards out and then had a non-scoring 62-yarder to set-up another score to stake EWU to a 14-0 lead. His other 100-yard rushing performance came against Cal Poly (10/10/15) when he had 103 yards on 25 carries and scored twice to earn co-team offensive player of the week honors. He ended his junior season with 85 yards and a touchdown against Portland State (11/21/15).
 
2014: Was one of four different running backs to combine for eight 100-yard rushing performances in 2014. He had a season-high 132 yards on 24 carries with three touchdowns in EWU’s 56-34 win over Portland State (11/21/14) to earn team offensive player of the week honors. He was helping fill the void of two-time All-Big Sky performer Quincy Forte, who missed that game with a nagging ankle sprain and prior to that missed four games because of a shoulder injury. Wilson’s previous high was 83 yards on Nov. 2, 2013, versus Idaho State, but he had only 48 yards in the 17 Eagle games after that. Wilson, who actually started as a redshirt freshman in EWU’s 2013 opener at Oregon State, missed six full games and parts of several others in that span because of injuries. Was the leading rusher in three spring scrimmages with a total of 113 yards on just 15 carries (7.5 per carry). He had 81 yards alone on just six carries in EWU’s Red-White Spring Football Game.
 
2013: Saw action in nine games as a running back, including EWU’s first two games of the season as a starter versus Oregon State (8/31/13) and Western Oregon (9/7/13). He missed five games because of a shoulder injury suffered versus WOU, then missed the Portland State game (11/23/13) because of an ailing hamstring. He finished the season fifth on the team with 170 rushing yards and also caught two passes for nine yards. After rushing for 40 yards in his debut against OSU in EWU’s thrilling 49-46 win over the 25th-ranked Beavers, he had 46 against Western Oregon. He had a season-high 83 yards against Idaho State (11/2/13), including a season-best 48-yard run. 2012: Redshirted. Was selected as the team’s offensive scout team player of the week twice.
 
HS: Graduated from Orange Lutheran HS in 2012. Earned first team All-Trinity League honors as a running back. He had 105 carries for 630 yards (6.0 per carry) and eight touchdowns as a senior in 2011. He rushed for 158 yards on 20 carries in a 36-21 win over Los Osos (9/9/11). The Lancers finished the season 6-4 overall and 1-4 in the league. As a junior, he earned second team All-Trinity League honors as Orange Lutheran finished 5-5 overall and 2-3 in league play. He also wrestled, and placed sixth in the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section as a junior. He also advanced to the Southern Section championships as a senior.
 
Personal: Sociology major. Born 7/24/94 in Los Angeles, Calif. His parents are Michael and Tanya Wilson. First name is pronounced “juh-bar-ee.”
