TUCSON - It doesn’t take much to earn the label no football player wants to have: injury prone.
Arizona Wildcats running back Nick Wilson missed four games last season because of injuries. He wasn’t much of a factor in three other contests.
That’s all it took.
Never mind that Wilson arrived in Tucson at 185 pounds and became an instant contributor as a freshman in 2014, carrying 236 times for 1,375 yards and 16 touchdowns. The perception that Wilson is injury prone exists, and it will persist until he proves he can withstand the rigors of a full season.
