Ohio University career

As a senior with the Ohio Bobcats, Wright started all 14 games and earned first-team All-MAC honors from the league's coaches. He was, also, named All-MAC by Collegefootballnews.com, which rated him as the second-best defensive back in the league and one of the top 30 best football players regardless of position. Wright was named MAC East Division Player of the Week after recording seven tackles, two pass break-ups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery at Miami. He led all Ohio defensive backs, and ranked third on the team overall, with 59 tackles. He ranked first on the team with four interceptions and was the first Bobcat since Bop White (1999-2002) to notch four straight seasons with at least three interceptions. In his senior season, Wright helped lead the Bobcats to a MAC East Division title, a MAC Championship Game appearance, a GMAC Bowl appearance and accepted an invitation to play in the inaugural Texas vs The Nation Bowl game in El Paso, TX.
