Tennessee Career
2021–2023 · RB
Wright rushed for 2,297 yards at 6.2 yards per carry over three Tennessee seasons, becoming the Vols' first 1,000-yard rusher since Jalen Hurd in 2015 with a 1,013-yard senior campaign that ranked second in the FBS in yards per carry (7.4).
Pro Journey
2024 Draft · 4th round, pick 120 · Miami Dolphins
Miami traded up in the fourth round to draft Wright 120th overall in 2024 — the first Vol selected in that draft class. He's now in his third season in Miami's backfield.
Why Vol Nation Should Watch
Wright's calling card is home-run speed on outside runs — exactly the trait Miami's offense is built to feature. His carry share is the clearest week-to-week signal of how the coaching staff is deploying him.
