A Blessing for Willie Wright Turns into Blessings for Others

For University of Tulsa football senior Willie Wright, giving back has become a way of life. Dedication, charitability and adaptability have become the norm since growing up in Houston, Texas.

Wright, a standout offensive tackle for head coach Philip Montgomery, has developed into a vocal leader on the field and an exemplary person off it. He has been named to the watch lists for the Wuerffel Trophy and the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team for the second consecutive season. Those two awards recognize community service and campus involvement among college football players. It's not hard to recognize Wright's willingness to give back to the community.
