SIGNED RB Mikale Wilbon


Recommended Posts


Mikale Wilbon had to move fast.

 

The rumors of James Franklin leaving Vanderbilt became reality Jan. 10. Suddenly, Wilbon, who was committed to the Commodores, felt like a running back stranded with the football on a broken play.

 

He could stick with Vandy, follow Franklin to Penn State or take a chance and open up his recruitment less than four weeks from signing day.

 

He had to do something other than sit and feel sorry for himself.

 

“I was real disappointed, because I was really starting to love Vandy, and I could see myself going there,” Wilbon said. “It's a great school academically and I wanted to play for Coach Franklin.

 

“(But) I got right back up, and I tried to look at it as a positive.”

 

Shortly after an impromptu group chat and some exchanged texts with his parents, who were both at work, Wilbon went to Twitter to let it be known that he was officially decommitting. Then he waited.

 

Wilbon never would have guessed that it would lead to Nebraska being one of the first to respond.
