Charles Wright’s longtime dream could come true on Saturday when the UTSA Roadrunners travel to Austin to take on the No. 21 Texas Longhorns at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
A lifelong Texas fan who went to Austin High, the redshirt freshman quarterback has already checked off two huge boxes — Wright signed with the Longhorns in the 2021 recruiting class and has appeared in two games, against Texas Tech in 2021 and against Louisiana-Monroe in this year’s season opener.
But Wright hasn’t attempted a pass yet in his brief career in burnt orange and white and he hasn’t been close to starting a game after serving as the four-string quarterback at the end of last season and starting this season as the third-string quarterback.
