James Madison freshman CB KJ Wright brings size, polish, and upside
KJ Wright is a 2026 true freshman cornerback at James Madison who arrives as a 6-foot, 180-pound, three-star prospect from Charlotte’s Palisades High, where he was a four-year varsity starter and posted 37 tackles, 2 interceptions, 8 pass breakups, and 7 blocked kicks as a senior. He has not yet recorded college stats, so the appeal is projection: length, athletic versatility, and proven playmaking instincts with a competitive edge. For a team looking for an upside defender who can grow into a sticky, disruptive CB, he’s a name worth watching.
