James Wilder Jr. back at running back...in Canada

Remember when former Plant High star and Florida State running back James Wilder Jr. announced he was switching to linebacker?

That was short-lived, apparently.

Wilder is back at running back (mostly) for the CFL's Toronto Argonauts. He had three carries for nine yards in Sunday's season opener.

I added the mostly part, because he's also spending time on special teams (where he had a tackle Sunday). The Toronto Sun wrote about that earlier this summer.

"A lot of teams reached out to me to see if I was up for a position change," Wilder told the Sun of switching to linebacker.
