Pack's Wilson says he's undecided about football in 2011

N.C. State junior quarterback Russell Wilson said this morning that he is looking forward to taking part in senior day festivites Saturday, but hasn't decided whether he will return for his senior season.

Wilson already has his bachelor's degree in communications and played professional baseball last summer in the Colorado Rockies organization. He has a year of football eligibility remaining after this season.

"I'm not sure yet [about 2011]," Wilson said. "I'm focused on Wake Forest. I'll follow what the Lord takes me to, wherever that is. If it's here, awesome. If it's somewhere else, awesome. It's going to be a great situation for me no matter what. But I'm focused on winning against Wake Forest. That's the most important thing."

He said he hasn't talked with the Rockies about his plans for the future or what they expect from him. Coach Tom O'Brien said earlier this week that he doesn't expect to talk to Wilson about the future until the season is over.

Wilson and N.C. State's seniors will be honored before the Wolfpack plays host to N.C. State at 2 p.m. Saturday. O'Brien has said he is honoring Wilson because this may be his last home game with the Wolfpack.

whether he stays or not it has been a pleasure to watch this young man play football and baseball for the pack. RW was truly a class act on and off the field.
