Wright was a three-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, where he signed with Memphis over the likes of Air Force, Georgia Southern and Northern Illinois. It was there he spent one season with current Purdue defensive backs coach Charles Clark before entering the transfer portal last off-season and landing at Mississippi State.
