Mike Wilson excelled not only on the football field and the track, but in the classroom and as an active part of the Stout community. Extremely active in the Stout Student Association (SSA) and a football team captain, Wilson was a football All-American and an all-WSUC selection in 1990, then followed that up in the spring by winning the conference 55-meter dash and earning All-American honors in the indoor 55-meter dash and the outdoor 200-meter dash. Wilson held the school's single season record for kickoff return (26.6 y/ret), until the record was broken in 2006. Wilson received the Chancellor's Award upon graduation and was also honored with several awards from the Minority Student Union. Following short football stints with the NFL's Cleveland Browns and CFL's Toronto Argonauts, Wilson put his hospitality and tourism degree to work with a variety of companies. Wilson has worked with the NFL's Players Association as a contract adviser and is also active with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in the Atlanta area.
