Redshirt senior Daniel Wright to see increased time at safety for Alabama

Daniel Wright is one of several fifth-year players that could have left the University of Alabama.

He endured a shoulder injury, had to learn the defensive system, has seen coaches come and go, and has been passed up in the secondary by younger players, yet he’s remained with the Crimson Tide. As a native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Wright has been on two College Football Playoff National Championship teams (2017, 2020) and two Southeastern Conference title teams.

He arrived in 2017 as a four-star athlete and has played in 51 career games since then. The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder has always possessed the physical skills to be a productive safety.
