UM running back Tru Wilson on his name Angelique S. Chengelis, The Detroit News
Ann Arbor — Initially, upon his arrival at Michigan in 2016, Tru Wilson admits it was intimidating being a walk-on out of nearby Warren De La Salle, not recruited by the Wolverines but determined to make a mark on the football team.
Wilson has tried different roles, but Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh suggested he move to running back. That has paid off. The 5-foot-10, 202-pound junior earned a scholarship, awarded during preseason camp, and had six carries for 54 yards, contributing to the 308 rushing yards the Wolverines had last Saturday against Western Michigan.
