Wright represents the school farthest west in this report. During his junior season, he recorded 60 tackles for the Eagles. He also registered 11 tackles for loss and one quarterback sack. He is a player who has caught the attention of our Prep Redzone’s Western Kansas scout, Ben Mitchum. He has honed his skills on the field and in the classroom. The coaching staffs at Dodge City and Garden City should be fighting to get this young man on campus.

One of the most explosive linebacker prospects in the state, the 5-foot-11, 185-pound Wright will definitely have his pick of schools to choose from after this coming season.

He first and foremost takes care of business in the classroom, where he holds a 3.77 GPA and already has a 21 ACT.

The Colby native brings top of the line athleticism, where he runs a 4.49 forty and has a 34 inch vertical. He has a make-up of becoming a excellent coverage linebacker at the next level.

This past season he brought home All-Great West Activities honors at linebacker. He produced 60 total tackles, 11 tackles for loss, one sack and one touchdown for the Eagles.

Wright also plays running back on offense and looks to be a much bigger part of that side of the ball after graduation of a couple studs who are now playing college ball. He is a capable runner and receiver out of the backfield.

Keep any eye on him this summer, as he will be making his rounds going to different camps, combines and playing for the Sharp Performance 7v7 team.

Cody Wright Cody Wright 5'10" | 185 lbs | ATH/RB Colby | 2026 State KS  , 5’11, 185, LB, Colby, ’26. He is another baller flying under the radar so far but is getting ready to change all that in a hurry. He dominated as a multi-positional playmaker on defense and is looking forward to stepping up this fall as an all-purpose running back on offense as well. It’s already been a busy year, as he played hoops this winter, just wrapped up 7v7 with Sharp Performance and has been consistently pumping iron behind the scenes. He is currently running track and is one of the best in the state in the 400m, looking to go sub-50 seconds in the coming weeks. His work is already reaping dividends as his broad jump is an explosive 9’10 and is looking to crack the ten-foot barrier soon. He is putting the final touches on his spring/summer camp plans and so far has decided on Nebraska-Kearney, along with KU, KSU, and Washburn. Get your popcorn ready, he is going to put on a show.
