Clemson’s tone-setting linebacker turned high-energy defensive coach
Corico Wright’s Clemson profile is all about production and edge: in his 2021 season, he finished third on the team with 80 tackles, and across his Clemson career he posted 200 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks in 52 games with 26 starts. He’s valued less for flash than for intensity, discipline, and the kind of voice that raises a defense’s standard. The best fit is a team that wants a tough, detail-driven leader who can diagnose, communicate, and bring some old-school Clemson bite.
