Terry Wilson ‘is a really intelligent quarterback who happens to have the ability to run’

Terry Wilson is a really intelligent quarterback who happens to have the ability to run.

Terry Wilson is three games into his 2020 senior season at Kentucky.

The Wildcats’ quarterback will face Tennessee in Week 4 of a 10-game SEC-only schedule.

Wilson suffered a torn patellar tendon in his left knee last season and played in only four games.

During his first season at Kentucky in 2018, Wilson led the Wildcats to a 10-win campaign, the program’s best season since 1977.

His journey to Lexington came after one season at Garden City Community College. There, Wilson totaled 2,133 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, 518 rushing yards and five scores on the ground.

Wilson enrolled at Garden City after signing with Oregon out of high school to play for Mark Helfrich.

The current 6-foot-3, 202-pound Kentucky quarterback played for head coach Jeff Sims at Garden City. Sims is now head coach at Missouri Southern.

“Terry was a highly-recruited player out of high school,” Sims said on the show “Tennessee Two-A-Days.” “He is what people are looking for these days. He is not a dual-threat quarterback, what he is, he is a really intelligent quarterback who happens to have the ability to run also.”
