In a statement released through the school, Wilson announced that he has decided to forego an opportunity to enter the April draft and will instead return to the Razorbacks for one more season. Wilson had received a high grade from the NFL’s draft advisory committee, which he admitted made the decision to return more of a struggle than some would’ve thought. “I have decided to stay at Arkansas for the 2012 season because I am extremely excited for what this team has the opportunity to accomplish and to finish earning my degree,” Wilson said in a statement. “After the feedback I received, the decision was difficult to make.
“Ultimately, the chance to complete my academics and play one more season as a Razorback were compelling reasons for me to remain in Fayetteville. This past year was great for us with 11 wins and a top-five finish and we want to build on that. The group of players we have returning has high expectations and wants to work hard to compete for championships.
“Although my goal is to play in the NFL, I believe I can benefit greatly from another year of working with Coach Bobby Petrino and Coach Paul Petrino. I am excited to be able to spend one more season at a university where the leadership shows a tremendous amount of support and the passion of the fans is the best in the country.”
