Week four of the high school football season has come and gone, and the Pigskin Pete crew has named a new Bryant Bank Player of the Week.
This week, the tremendous honor goes to someone who has been putting up flat-out ridiculous numbers in running back Kollin Wilson of Gulf Shores. Wilson carried the ball 21 times for 313 yards and 4 touchdowns against McGill-Toolen in what was an absolutely massive win for the Dolphins, their first of the season in 6A.
Averaging nearly 15 yards per carry, Wilson was flat-out dominant in a game that was initially supposed to be played at Gulf Shores but had to be moved to McGill due to field conditions from the rain last week.
Wilson’s performance ended the three game losing streak that the Dolphins started the season on with tough losses to Choctawhatchee (FL), Mary G. Montgomery, and Saraland. Due to a quarterback injury in week one, Wilson has been playing a ton out of the wildcat, even rushing for over 400 yards in the loss to MGM.
“He’s a special player,” Dolphins head coach Mark Hudspeth said of Wilson on Monday. “He’s a special type of player and on top of that he’s a special type of kid. We are just really proud of him.”
Wilson is committed to Mississippi State and will look to play early for a rebuilding Bulldogs program. The Dolphins will take on Blount on the road next week and look to pick up another region win.
