Dontre Wilson appears to be headed back to the Candian Football League with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The former Ohio State H-Back posted a photo on his personal Instagram account today of him signing a contract -- in a Buckeyes shirt -- with the caption "It Took some Time But i stayed Down and God Granted me My Wish @Hamiltontigercats #RunliketreForever".

It's been a bit of roller coaster ride for Wilson since he left Ohio State following his senior year in 2016. Wilson was not selected in the 2017 NFL Draft but reports emerged shortly after that he signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Los Angeles Chargers. That turned out not to be the case after the Chargers' doctor did not clear Wilson physically and the player's father confirmed to Bucknuts that his son never signed a contract.

Wilson continued to work out, hoping to prove that he was healthy and get a shot with another NFL team. In September of 2017, Wilson tweeted that he had signed with the BC Lions of the CFL. While Wilson does show up on the CFL's website with a picture of him in a Lions' jersey, there are no statistics recorded for the wide receiver. It was reported that Wilson only ever took part on British Colombia's practice squad.

The DeSoto, Texas native did get another shot at the NFL last spring. Wilson was one of 13 players invited to the Chargers' rookie minicamp in May as a non-contract participant but did not make the team for the 2018 season.

Wilson came to Ohio State as a four-star prospect and the country's No. 6 all-purpose back. He was thought to be the first perfect fit for the Buckeyes under Urban Meyer at the H-Back position. After 43 catches for 510 yards and five touchdowns in his first two years as a Buckeye, Wilson suffered a foot injury that impacted him throughout the rest of his career. In total, the receiver caught 77 passes for 925 yards. He also rushed 428 yards and finished his career with 12 total touchdowns.

If Wilson is again headed north of the U.S. border, he won't be going too far from where he played college football. Hamilton, Ontario is only a six-hour drive from the Buckeyes' Ohio Stadium and is on the other side of Lake Erie from Cleveland.
