Life after Josh Allen doesn’t look so bad, thanks to a once aspiring basketball star.
When Eddie Gran recruited Jordan Wright from Dillard High School in Ft. Lauderdale, Wright was a star on the hardwood. A lengthy 6-foot-5 shooting guard, as a junior he led Dillard to a Florida 6A state title. Recruited to play either football or basketball at the collegiate level, with more prospects on the gridiron the three-star recruit committed to Kentucky over Florida, Miami and Arkansas.
Once the edge rusher got to Lexington, he had some work to do.
Wright’s career began behind two talented Joshes, Allen and Paschal.
