Micah Wilson has decided to line up wide instead of under center.
A source close to the situation told The Star that Missouri’s redshirt junior quarterback will move to wide receiver for the 2019 season. PowerMizzou.com first reported the position change on Monday.
Known for his speed, Wilson saw time in fall camp as a receiver before offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Derek Dooley said the 6-foot-3 signal-caller would stay under center for the 2018 season. Wilson saw playing time as a redshirt freshman in 2017 behind Drew Lock, mainly in garbage time as a dual-threat quarterback.
