HB Dontre 'DeSoto' Wilson (Official Thread)

[scarletngray]

He's making a difference on the field. Moving the chains, scoring TD's, making plays out of the Wildcat. Really a great complement to Samuel.

Looked like he came up limping after the series in which he scored his touchdown. Hopefully nothing serious and his foot issues are a thing of the past.

 

[Thump]

Really happy for the kid.

Seeing how explosive he was yesterday really shows how much he has been toughing it out for the last year and a half.

Tough kid!

He was actually limping a bit before the TD run.

Started limping right after his long 4th down run. Which was right before his TD run.

Right, he started limping on his jet sweep run when he was taken down on the sideline. I just generalized "after the series." Either way, hopefully Dontre is healthy. He's been looking good so far.

Urban said his foot was a bit sore and they gave him the day off on Sunday. Said he should be good to go for the game. Good news! We will need as much firepower as possible. DeSoto is especially needed in the return game as has impressed with his play at HBack thus far. 3 TDs I believe.

Could not be happier to see him doing well. Stay healthy Dontre!

 

[Rent Free]

I really want this kid to stay healthy, people forget how much promise he showed his first season and half at OSU. He, IMHO, is really close to turning the corner in a big time play maker for OSU. He's be steady so far, which is something he's lacked his entire time in Columbus. I expect a healthy dose of Wilson and Samuel attacking the edge/counter plays, because of the defense OU runs(3-4 wide I).

Really wish they would've just red shirted Dontre last year... help him heal properly and obviously we would have 1 more year of him after this.

 

[RugbyBuck]

It definitely hasn't been what anyone expected for him at tOSU, but it looks like it's turning out ok for him. He'll get a shot. I think Marshall having left and having success with the Jets may help him.

Urban Meyer Press Conference...

• On Dontre Wilson’s turbulent career at Ohio State, Meyer boasts Wilson’s “huge catch” from Saturday. The head coach noted the receiver came in with expectation, but the “poor guy” broke his foot against Michigan State two years ago, and still isn’t 100%. They’ve adjusted his practice schedule and training to account for that lingering injury.

Biggest play of the game, arguably. Good for Dontre. He's still providing a spark for the offense when needed

Ugh, damn. That seriously sucks to have to deal with that for 2 years now. Props to him for battling through it. I wonder if that injury is just something he's never going to fully recover from.
