Nick Wilson is in his first season on the coaching staff at Morehead State.

Wilson, native of Fresno, Calif., is just the seventh player in University of Arizona history to rush for more than 3,000 yards. He burst onto the college scene in 2014 when he rushed for 1,375 yards and 16 touchdowns. Wilson led all freshmen in the Pac 12 in total yards and ranked fourth nationally among FBS freshmen while being named Freshman All-American.

He was limited by injuries during the remainder of his playing career but still managed more than 600 yards as a sophomore and senior. Wilson was on the preseason watch lists in 2015 for the Doak Walker and Maxwell Awards.

Wilson came to Morehead State as a staff member in the fall of 2020 and also then served as an assistant at Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) this fall.

He graduated from Arizona in 2019 with a bachelor's degree in general studies with emphasis on social, behavioral and human understanding.
