Wright entered the 2022 season as Vanderbilt’s starting quarterback, but lost the job to true freshman A.J. Swann three games into the season after an iffy performance against Wake Forest. He’d ultimately redeem himself by piloting the team to wins over SEC opponents Kentucky and Florida late in the season after Swann went down with an injury, but still, the writing was on the wall entering 2023, and he got pulled in favor of Swann in a 56-0 loss to Tennessee to close the 2022 season.
