No running back in West Virginia had as good of a year as Parkersburg South’s Gage Wright Gage Wright 6'0" | 200 lbs | RB Parkersburg South | 2024 State WV had in 2023. Wright flirted with a 2,000-yard rushing season and finished his senior year with 1,904 yards and 23 rushing touchdowns. In total, he had 2,600 all-purpose yards and scored 35 total touchdowns while leading the Patriots to a playoff berth. The Virginia Tech wrestling commit is a D1 athlete regardless if he chooses to wrestle or play football in college and I’m sure he has some D1 football opportunities if he wants to choose that route. Wright is a big physical athlete at 6’0 200 and with his wrestling background, he’s a hard-nosed runner with the speed to separate away from defenders. He’s probably not going to juke you out of your cleats or zigzag through defenders like a human joystick but Wright will certainly put his shoulder down and run through you or by you. He’s just a special athlete that has natural abilities that can’t be taught and he’s been a pleasure to watch during his high school athletics career.
