As many of you may recall, University of Montana cornerback Jimmy Wilson's brilliant career was cut short in the summer of 1997 when he was charged with murder.

You may also be aware that Jimmy was acquitted - not once, but twice.

What is next for Jimmy?
Word on the street is that he is working out and wants to go back to school.
But is it likely to be Montana? Don't think so.
In the future, maybe we can get to see a feature on his progress from the sports media.

His time as an NCAA athlete has long passed. He can't play anymore college ball. He may go back to school, but only as an "nontraditional student".

He could go on a mission and come back and play four more years at Weber....

Jimmy was acquitted by two juries in a row in a conservative judicial venue. How could he not get a chance to play again?

Well my comment was based on the 1997 date. Now that that is pointed out to be wrong, he may still have some time left on his eligibility. I don't know.
