Tommy Wright brings speed, versatility, and special-teams juice to App State
Tommy Wright entered Appalachian State as the highest-rated signee in the program’s FBS era, and his game has matched that blue-chip buzz with quick-twitch athleticism, cornerback flexibility, and real value on special teams. In the 2020 season, he played in 11 games as a true freshman, logged seven tackles, and even helped set up a key kickoff-return touchdown with a downfield block. The differentiator here is competitive, all-gas motor: he was recruited as a two-way playmaker and track athlete, so he brings speed and toughness that can translate beyond the stat sheet.
