UW football: Wilson tells Rockies he’s choosing football, will train with Weinke

On the heels of a record-setting season at the University of Wisconsin, Russell Wilson has chosen football over baseball as his career focus, according to Pete Thamel of the New York Times. Wilson, a fourth-round draft choice of the Colorado Rockies in 2010, has informed the team that he will concentrate on improving his stock for the NFL draft instead of reporting to spring training.
