It was quite a story as Warren (MI) De La Salle safety Tru Wilson walked-on at Michigan, switched over to the offensive side of the ball and eventually earned his way onto scholarship at running back.
But gone now are the days where fans in The Big House will chant ‘Truuuu’ as he receives the handoff, as he announced this offseason that he was set to transfer for his fifth-year.
Now, though, he has decided where he will play next.
As announced by the program itself, Wilson has signed with Northern Colorado, a Division I FCS-level program in the Big Sky Conference.

At Michigan, Wilson had 21 appearances at running back, where he accumulated 586 yards on 107 carries — an average of 5.5 yards-per-carry. In 2018, his 5.9 yard-per-carry average was the highest on the team amongst running backs.
Wilson started 2019 injured, but led the depth chart in the spring. However, when he returned to the lineup, he was behind true freshman Zach Charbonnet and redshirt freshman Hassan Haskins on the depth chart.
He has one year of eligibility remaining and can play right away as a graduate transfer.
