NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Months after a car accident left him partially paralyzed, Oklahoma receiver Corey Wilson has set a goal to walk again by the end of the Sooners' season.
Wilson appeared at Oklahoma's media day Friday in a wheelchair and spoke to reporters on Owen Field. He says he wants to lead the Sooners onto the field before one of their games, perhaps providing the team some inspiration.
Wilson had just finished his redshirt freshman year at Oklahoma when he injured his back in a car accident on Interstate 35 on Feb. 27.
Wilson says he remembers the moments immediately before the crash and then waking up in the grass alongside the road. In the past couple months, he says he has been rehabbing four days a week.
He doesn't expect to play football again.
