Brandon Wilson (born July 27, 1994) is an American professional football safety. He played college football for the Houston Cougars.[1][2]
Wilson played on both sides of the ball at Houston, at cornerback behind William Jackson III and also at running back. He also played on special teams as a kick returner.[3] Wilson's junior season in 2015 included multiple touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams.[4] Wilson's college career was highlighted by his famous 110 yard touchdown return after a missed field goal attempt by Oklahoma on September 3, 2016. Officially, the return went for 100 yards, even though Wilson fielded the 53-yard missed field goal in the back of his own end zone. The Houston Cougars went on to defeat the #5 ranked Oklahoma Sooners in the week one upset. [5]
