Nebraska’s rangy, high-motor linebacker who led the Huskers in 2025
Wright’s calling card is production with range: in the 2025 season, he started 11 of 12 games, led Nebraska with 86 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks, and earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten honors. He stands out as a long, physical, coverage-capable linebacker with strong play recognition, and his path makes the fit more compelling—after earlier heart-related health issues slowed his rise, he came back to become a steady, tone-setting defender who consistently shows up in big moments.
