The Marine Major-select and Special Operations Officer will be honored when Texas Football hosts Kansas State on Nov. 4.
The obligation to public service is the thread that unites Max Wright and his fields of practice. In 2007, he joined the United States Marine Corps as a commissioned officer and served for 10 years as a leader, combat commander and special operative on multiple operations worldwide. In 2023, he graduated from the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin and currently serves the university as a first-year emergency medicine resident.
"With the Marines and with medicine, it started as a feeling of something I should do," said Wright, who also earned his undergraduate history degree from UT in 2004.
