Stanford receiver Michael Wilson accepts invite to 2023 Senior Bowl

Stanford receiver Michael Wilson was poised to have a career year this season, but unfortunately had his final year on the farm cut short.

The fifth-year senior went down with an undisclosed injury in Stanford's win over Notre Dame, and was later ruled to be out for the rest of the season by head coach David Shaw.

In the six games that he did play, Wilson recorded 26 catches for 418 yards and four touchdowns, while averaging 16 yards per catch. Despite not having played in four weeks, Wilson is t-No. 3 on the team in catches, No. 2 in receiving yards, and leads the team in touchdown catches. His production in those six games was enough to earn him a nod to play in the Reese's Senior Bowl, which he reportedly accepted an invite to as seen on Twitter on Wednesday.
