  • 2009 Spring Team Most Improved Offensive Back

2009 OUTLOOK

Exciting tailback prospect who enters fall practice at No. 2 on the depth chart behind incumbent starter Derrick Washington, but should play a big factor in the Tiger rushing attack in 2009 ... Had a very impressive spring camp as he showed a great burst, as well as an ability to be a dependable option in the passing game out of the backfield ... Was impressive enough to win the team's Most Improved Offensive Back Award (sharing it with QB Blaine Gabbert) ... A St. Louis, Mo. native who sold concessions at Busch Stadium for St. Louis Cardinals baseball games during his high school days ... Worked during the Cardinals' World Series season of 2006, which he said was very lucrative in terms of tips he received from the happy Cards fans during their playoff and World Series run ... First name is pronounced "DEV-in."

2008 SEASON

Made the most of his opportunities, as he ran for 231 yards and 1 touchdown in 41 attempts that came spread out over 13 appearances ... Averaged a solid 5.6 yards per carry, which was just behind starter Derrick Washington's 5.9 average ... Showed an explosive burst to break off some big chunks of yardage, as evidence by his 55-yard touchdown gallop against Colorado that put the cap on Mizzou's 58-0 whitewashing ... Finished that game with 64 yards on 4 carries, with his score representing his first collegiate touchdown ... Led Mizzou in rushing in his first-ever collegiate appearance, when he rushed 9 times for 75 yards against Southeast Missouri State ... Had a season-high 10 carries for 26 yards the following week against Nevada ... Gained 34 yards on seven carries against Nebraska ... Was quite impressive during spring camp, and he wrapped up spring ball by rushing 6 times for 22 yards, and also caught 1 pass in the game for a 26-yard gain.

2007 SEASON
Redshirted in his first year in the program, but was very impressive throughout the season in practice.

HIGH SCHOOL
Ranked by Rivals as the No. 18 overall prospect (any position) in the state of Missouri ... Was a major weapon out of the backfield for Hazelwood Central in 2006, as he totaled nearly 2,000 yards from scrimmage, including 1,640 on the ground on 216 carries (a healthy 7.6 yards per carry average), and had 341 receiving yards and tallied 20 total TDs on the year ... Topped the 200-yard rushing mark in 3 games as a senior ... Earned 1st-Team All-State acclaim as a senior, as well as All-Conference and other honors ... Was a 2nd-Team All-Conference selection as a defensive back during his junior season of 2005, as he had 76 tackles and grabbed 2 INTs, while also rushing for 610 yards and 8 TDs on offense ... Also tallied 53 tackles and had 1 INT as a sophomore in 2004 ... Was a 2-year qualifier for the state championships in track and field, as well ... High school coach - John Pukalua.

PERSONAL
Son of Deicha Wilson ... Lists an interest in studying sports medicine while at Mizzou ... Chose Mizzou over Michigan and Iowa, among others ... Primary Mizzou recruiter -Cornell Ford.
