George Wilson is known as a player that has always had to go the extra mile to make his career a success. Even though his aspirations were faced with several road blocks he persevered. And that's the message Wilson now imparts on those of the next generation in his home state of Kentucky.
Wilson had to maintain a 3.0 grade-point average to hold onto the academic scholarship, until he hopefully convinced the Arkansas coaching staff that he was worthy of an athletic scholarship as well.
"It was a risk that my mother and I both took because we took the risk of still having to pay out of pocket my entire time in school for books and meals even with the academic scholarship. We knew that we couldn't pay for long," he said. "So the pressure was definitely on me to perform on the field as well as in the classroom."
