Explosive Nebraska back with elite burst and proven big-play upside
In the 2006 season, Kenny Wilson gave Nebraska a real punch in the run game, rushing for 335 yards and 4 touchdowns on 75 carries while averaging 4.5 yards per carry; he also flashed versatility with 3 catches for 20 yards.[1][2] Recruiting buzz at the time painted him as a fast, physical 6-foot, 220-pound back with 4.4 speed and four-star pedigree, while his 106-yard, two-TD game vs. Troy showed he could hit home runs when the lanes opened.[3][4] The big caveat: a knee injury ended his 2007 season and stalled his momentum, so the fit question is less about raw talent and more about durability and whether he can stay available.[8]
