De’Runnya Wilson is unquestionably Mississippi State’s top receiver entering 2015, and there’s little arguing he’s the most dynamic player on the offense other than quarterback Dak Prescott, perhaps the greatest player in Mississippi State history.

However, Wilson also finds himself in legal troubles this spring, all while battling an injured right knee. The combination of arrest and injury has kept Wilson sidelined so far this spring, begging the question: How will Dan Mullen and his staff handle Wilson moving forward?

To this point, nothing has changed. Wilson has spent the Bulldogs’ spring practices so far this month in the “injury pit,” working out on a stationary bike, participating in some individual drills and watching team drills with his fellow injured teammates.

That injury is of course likely to heal over time, and there’s no concern that it would keep Wilson out of training camp or the season opener in September unless he were to aggravate it sometime between now and then.

But what might keep Wilson out of the opener is his recent arrest for marijuana possession.

Wilson was arrested on the night of March 13, the final Friday of MSU’s spring break, for second degree marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. His arrest fell on the same week Dak Prescott and teammates were assaulted on a trip to Panama City Beach, Fla., and the same week teammate Elgton Jenkins was arrested for his involvement in an alleged assault on the Mississippi State campus. Needless to say it was not the best of spring breaks for the Bulldogs’ program.

But because Prescott was a victim, it is Wilson who serves as the most high-profile player to suffer an arrest while visiting his home in Alabama. Fans, administrators and media members from throughout SEC country will be watching how Mullen handles Wilson in particular when they assess the way he disciplines his program.

Which is why there’s a good chance Wilson’s punishment involves a suspension when the season begins this fall.

The star wideout’s legal process is still working itself out, and like most other coaches in any college sport, Mullen is opting to allow the legal process to take its course before he decides how to handle the situation internally.

All we know to this point is he intends to eventually handle it internally no matter what ruling the court hands down.

“Any time any of our players are accused of anything, we thoroughly investigate it,” Mullen told the Associated Press. “We want to get a full, thorough investigation of what goes on, cooperate with all the authorities involved and then when we get to the bottom of the reality of the situation then we will look at discipline issues.”

He may be suspended for a quarter of the season opener, for a half, for the entire game or perhaps even longer, And, of course, he may not be suspended at all. For now, that remains to be seen.

But Mullen certainly isn’t holding his star wideout out of practice, at least not for now. His knee injury may be holding him out of physical drills, but he’s still in attendance at every practice, still supporting his teammates, still rehabbing his knee and still working through some individual drills.

We may have to wait a little while longer to learn Wilson’s fate, but it’s safe to assume that once we do, he’s still going to be a part of this team.
