Louisville’s Big-Frame Back With Real Upside, But Injuries Blunted the Breakout
In the 2018 season, Colin Wilson flashed as a powerful 6-1, 225-pound Louisville running back, finishing with 45 carries for 277 yards and a 6.2-yard average across his Cardinals career[1][2]. His best selling points were size, downhill burst, and a recruiting pedigree that once had him rated as one of Florida’s better backs; the catch is that an ACL injury and roster changes interrupted his momentum, so the big question was always availability, not talent[3][4]. If you want a runner with toughness and some breakaway juice, he fit the profile—just with a caution label attached[3].
