Lataj Wright brings veteran depth and ball skills to WKU’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Lataj Wright entered Western Kentucky as a redshirt senior DB after missing the entire 2024 season due to injury, which makes his availability and health part of the story as much as his play. He arrived with proven production from Fort Valley State—55 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 13 pass breakups in two seasons—so the appeal is clear: experienced, physical, and opportunistic in coverage. At 5-foot-10, he profiles as a competitive, instinctive defensive back who can fit a room that values toughness and veteran savvy.
