The 6-foot-3, 220-pound prospect becomes the 14th player and first athlete to join Alabama’s top-ranked 2020 class.
Since Wright is such a versatile player, it has not been determined what position he will settle into in college. Several schools recruited him as a safety or linebacker while others projected him to play tight end or wide receiver.
Wright’s recruitment has heated up in the past month and the prospect recently visited Virginia and Clemson. Wright committed to Alabama while also holding offers from Tennessee, LSU and Mississippi State.
