Phillip Wright III brings SEC-level speed and deep-threat juice to LSU’s WR room
Wright entered 2026 as a redshirt freshman after appearing in two games in 2025 and catching his first career pass against Southeastern Louisiana[1][3]. The selling point is obvious: he’s a vertical burner with verified track-speed background, and LSU sources describe him as a speedy receiver who can stretch the field or turn short catches into explosive plays[1][2][10]. He looks like a high-upside fit if a team wants instant juice, special-teams potential, and a developmental big-play target rather than a finished-product volume receiver.
