HB Dontre 'DeSoto' Wilson (Official Thread)

Dontre Wilson is closing in on 1000+ all purpose yardage for his freshman season. Awesome way to start his buckeye career

Where's he at right now?

Headed for the TSUN end zone. Multiple times.

Where's he at right now?

226 yards rushing
215 yards receiving
412 yards returning

853 total so far. I think he gets at least around 100 each in the next 2 games plus the bowl.

I too was diagnosed with poor running mechanics in HS for baseball. Probably could have shaved off a couple hundredths of a second off my 40 time....from a 5.1 to a 4.9

4.9 for normies like us aint bad. In fact, anything under 5 is pretty good. I ran an unofficial hand timed 4.7 in high school and that was considered very fast.

Looks like his running motion/mechanics have definitely improved. Can't wait to see what the future holds for Dontre...

I'm comparing this to the two jet sweeps in the Cal game earlier in the season and I'm not seeing much of a difference in mechanics. I see more confidence in himself more than any mechanical improvement.

I wonder if we'll see him returning punts next year... Or is he never going to be a punt returner? I remember Ginn was electric as a PR guy.

I'd like to see Jalin Marshall returning punts next year. I'm excited to see him on the field.

Jack Mewhort is a machine.

Possibilities for PR:
Wilson
Jalin Marshall
Curtis Samuel
Terry mclaurin
Parris Campbell
James Clark
-possibly marshon lattimore or johnnie Dixon as well-

That's an incredible amount of speed

 

[Yertle]

Wow, that is a great mewhort highlight!

I'm not arguing your point, but what the clip shows me is an elite OL that really likes to run block. They're damn good at it too. Dontre just had to run thru a gigantic hole at 3/4 speed for that TD.

True enough, Kyle, but I like how he ducked his shoulder and made the corner. Most kids don't get past that defender and he may not have earlier in the year.

Huge hole but to get through it untouched speaks to his remarkable burst.

To me, the defensive tackle that slides down could've/should've made the tackle even while being blocked. I think one of our guys would make that tackle. I can't tell, though, whether this guy didn't because of Wilson or because of lesser ability or both.
