Brandon Wilson

Brandon Wilson (born July 27, 1994) is an American football safety who is a free agent. He played college football at Houston. College career 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. Wilson's junior season in 2015 included multiple touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams. Brandon Wilson's college career was highlighted by his famous 110 yard touchdown return after a missed FG 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 upset the #5 ranked Oklahoma Sooners in the week one upset. Professional career Wilson was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the sixth round, 207th overall, in the 2017 NFL Draft. He was one of three Houston Cougars to be selected that year. He was only the fourth player ever selected by the Bengals organization after a trade up in the draft. The team elected to play Wilson at safety rather than the cornerback position he played in college.
