Expert Analysis
Greg Lucas | Prep Redzone Scout
Wright got meaningful playing time on a 7-2 squad that made the playoffs. His stats were not huge, but when he touched the ball, he found the endzone. Wright averaged 43 yds on his kickoff returns. He found the endzone on 2 of the 5 he returned. He also accounted for 1 receiving TD and 4 rushing TD’s. On the limited film he has up, Wright shows an explosive first step when he gets the chance to go vertical. He looks to play a big part in what Okoboji does over the next few years.

Wright got his high school career off to a fine start with key contributions as a freshman for a playoff team. He recorded 15.0 tackles (12 solo, 2.0 TFL) and served as the team’s top kick returner. In that role, he averaged 29.2 yards on 10 attempts, taking one back 90 yards to the house. Wright’s ninth-grade highlight video reveals his level of performance in Year 1 and also someone with considerable potential. It opens with the long kick return, when the coverage team was no match for his speed. Wright impresses lining up at cornerback, where he sticks tight in coverage and also lowers the boom against the run. His hip movements are fluid when quickly changing directions.
