Quincy Wilson (running back)

Quincy Wilson (born April 26, 1981) is an American college football coach and former running back.

Wilson attended Weir High School where he became the first football player in West Virginia history to rush for more than 3,000 yards in a single season.

Over the course of his high school career, Wilson rushed for 6,161 yards and scored 90 touchdowns, and garnered many awards and national attention.

USA Today recognized him as an honorable mention All American, and was rated the third best running back in the Middle East.

As a freshman backup for star running back Avon Cobourne, he played in 10 games gaining 146 yards on 27 carries and 1 touchdown.

In 2003, with the departure of Cobourne, Wilson would start for West Virginia and impress with several outstanding performances, most notably "The Run", against the #2 ranked Miami Hurricanes.

Wilson earned third-team Associated Press All-America honors and was an All-Big East first-team pick by ESPN as a senior in 2003, rushing for 1,380 yards with a 4.9 avg.

He was also named WVU's offensive MVP as a senior, and won team's Ira Rodgers Award for all-around excellence.

With rookie running back Kenny Irons shelved for the year due to a torn Anterior cruciate ligament, Wilson was the probable backup to starter Rudi Johnson.

Wilson was re-signed to the active roster on December 26, 2007, and saw a special-teams tackle in the season finale against the Miami Dolphins.
