Stats: 14 tcks, 4 TFL, 2.5 sacks & 1 Int

Even though his Cougars team fell by one point at the last second, Wright had himself a stellar showing versus Franklin where he was a force on defense, making plays in a variety of ways. Leading the team in tackles on the night, Wright played in the backfield almost the entire game where he produced 4 tackles for the loss and 2.5 sacks with one interception on the evening. The Cougars senior backer was everywhere last Friday night. This kind of performance definitely gets him on the radar as a sleeper Mr. Football contender.

Rounding out of Top Ten linebacker rankings is this Williamson County senior that brings tons of versatility to the playing field along with upside to handle a variety of roles inside the defensive front seven. Wright is an athletic backer that is labeled currently as an edge linebacker and I think that is his future but he has been working hard on his body and overall speed to potentially play in the middle as well. His burst off the snap is excellent as well as his ability to get skinny and get between blockers towards the ball. Wright shows potential to drop into coverage and play in space but his money will be getting into the backfield. Offers have started to come in but I think Wright can add several more with a strong showing this year throughout his senior season with Centennial.
