Before Ru sell Wilson became a national phenomenon at Wisconsin in 2011, all he wanted to do was return to play his senior Logan Couture Jersey season at NCState, where he had accrued a 19-14record as a starterover three years.But then-coach Tom O'Brien had other ideas. Wilson, in ceremony Saturday, said he was told not to bother comingback from spring training with the Colorado Rockies.MORE: "I called my football coach at NC State and said, Hey coach, Id like to come back for my senior year. He told me I wasnt coming back," Wilson said, . "He said, Listen son, youre never going to play in the National Football League. Youre too small. Theres no chance. Youve got no shot. Give it up."Of course, Im on this side of the phone saying, So youre telling me Im not coming back to NC State? I wont see the field? He said, No son, you wont see the field."Fortunately for Wilson, plenty of Paul Martin Jersey other coaches were happy to have his services, including then-Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema, who lured Wilson to Madison, Wisc., to play football in his final season of eligibility."From the Patrick Marleau Jersey moment I saw this campus, I knew this was the place that I wanted to be," Wilson said during his commencement speech. "From my coaches to my teammates to the guys in the equipment room to my cla smates to of course the fans, everyone I met was so incredibly welcoming."In one season, Wilson led the Badgers to an 11-3 record and a Big Ten championship. He alsocompleted225 of 309 pa ses (72.8 completion percentage) for 3,175 yards and 33 touchdowns, to onlyfour interceptions. O'Brien's Wolfpack went 8-5 that season, and finished 7-5 the following year before he was dismi sed.Wilson, of course, did manage to make it to the NFL the Seahawks took him 75th overall where he'skind ofmade a name for himself, especially Tommy Wingels Jersey after winning the Super Bowl in just his second season.Hindsight's 20/20, Coach. If what Wilson said is accurate, of course.WhileO'Brien could very well have told Wilson he wouldn't make it in the NFL, the Seahawks quarterback conveniently left out another potential factor as to why he didn't return to NC State: his splitpriorities between baseball and football. Wilson had just spent the spring with the Rockies something that O'Brien, to his credit, had openly voiced reservation about. It's po sible the Wolfpack coach simply wanted Wilson Joe Thornton Jersey to commit 100 percent to football, which his backups obviously had done.Only Wilson and O'Brien know for certain why he didn't come back to campus.
