    PAULS VALLEY, Okla. (AP) -Oklahoma wide receiver Corey Wilson has been critically injured in a rollover collision on Interstate 35.
    The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says the 20-year-old from Carrollton, Texas, was flown in critical condition with head and internal injuries to OU Medical Center after the crash about 1 p.m. Friday near Pauls Valley. A hospital spokesman says Wilson's family asked that his condition not be released.
    The patrol says Wilson was southbound on I-35 when his Chevrolet Trailblazer collided with a pickup, ran off the road and rolled twice, throwing him about 45 feet from the vehicle.
    A sophomore, Wilson is the younger brother of former OU wide receiver standout Travis Wilson.
    The OHP reports Wilson was not wearing his seat belt.

    Does anyone have an update on his condition? Sounds like he must've just been going home to DFW for the weekend. Sad.

    I've seen this happen to someone before and it's an image that you will never forget for the rest of your life. I can't imagine going through it. Amazingly the lady survived and I hope Corey has the same outcome.

    Injured Oklahoma receiver determined to walk again | College Sports | Star-Telegram.com

    I couldn't imagine going from a DI athlete to being in a wheelchair, but it sounds like Corey has the right attitude and will be able to have a good life ahead.
