Hogs flip Oklahoma D-lineman from Texas Tech

Oklahoma defensive lineman Solomon Wright has flipped his commitment from Texas Tech to Arkansas.

Wright, 6-0, 270 pounds, of Vian High School, pledged to the Red Raiders on May 1. He also had offers from Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Memphis and others.

His father Kenyatta Wright, a Fort Smith native, played linebacker for Oklahoma State, the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills. The Wrights have family members in Arkansas that root for the Razorbacks and also know former Arkansas safety Kamren Curl and family.

Wright is No. 12 on The Oklahoman’s 2021 Super 30 list of top football recruits in the state.
