In 1984, he rushed 226 times for 1083 yards, which won him all-star accolades and CFL's Most Outstanding Rookie Award. In 1985, his production fell off to 435 yards rushing in his second and final CFL season.

Wilson drowned on April 12, 2008, while boating with friends at Lake Elsinore, California.
