Cedrick Wilson is an animal

When it comes to Boise State’s receivers, it’s Cedrick Wilson – then everyone else.

The 6-foot-3 senior wide out has hauled in 29 passes this season for 485 yards and three touchdowns. No other Bronco has more than 13 catches or 152 yards.

Wilson’s averaging nearly 17 yards per reception – and caught a 47 yard touchdown this season. So he’s explosive and dynamic.

The last time BYU football took on a receiver like Wilson was in the Holy War against Utah. Darren Carrington man-handled the BYU secondary en route to seven catches and 129 yards.

So the Cougars really need to prepare for Wilson and double cover him if at all possible.
