Redshirt freshman wide receiver Corey Wilson remains in the hospital after being seriously injured in a car accident on Interstate Highway 35 Friday afternoon.
Football players received an e-mail this weekend saying that Wilson is paralyzed from the waist down, according to a player who asked to remain anonymous because players aren’t allowed to speak with the media.
According to Oklahoma Highway Patrol officials, Wilson was driving south on I-35 Friday afternoon when his SUV swerved off the road and rolled twice.
Wilson, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown 45 feet from his vehicle and sustained serious head and internal injuries. He was flown to OU Medical Center for treatment.
“Everyone associated with our program is deeply concerned for Corey and his family,” head coach Bob Stoops said. “Our prayers and thoughts are focused on them. We are firmly committed to doing whatever we can to support and encourage the Wilsons.”
Wilson, from Carrollton, Texas, is the younger brother of former Sooner and current Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Travis Wilson.

A very, very sad situation.
Please stop with the anonymous sources, though, Daily staff. It's a bad, lazy habit.
The source is not anonymous, Lindsay. The Daily knows who they are and are respecting their wish to remain anonymous.
It's called protecting your sources. Journalism 101.
It is also called betraying trust and cowardice by anaonymous sources. What if the family did not want this info exposed.
