Paul Wilson is a depth-piece Hawkeye back with limited production
In the 2025 season, Iowa RB Paul Wilson logged just 3 carries for 7 yards and no touchdowns, so the stat line says “sparingly used,” not “featured weapon.” He profiles more as a depth option than a headline grabber right now, with the biggest differentiator being that he’s already in the Big Ten grind and available in the room. That means roster fit depends on whether a team wants a developmental back who can handle limited touches and special situations rather than a proven workload carrier.
