"Yes sir, I loved it," Wright said. "It was nice and they had some good food too. I'm not going to lie. The people (stood out) for real. Everyone was nice and everyone was welcoming."
Wright has built a very good bond with offensive line coach Walt Wells. The laid back Wright always carries a big smile and the ever light hearted Wells bring the funny side to recruiting. "He just wanted me down here," Wright said. "He's a cool guy and definitely funny. I liked him. He's just a pretty funny guy. A lot of joking and laughing."
The chance to spend time with other prospects, current players and the Tennessee staff left an impression on Wright. He also was blown away by the biggest part of his visit. "The stadium," Wright said. "I've never seen anything like the stadium. I didn't expect it to be that big. It was huge. The size and everything is brick. That is cool."
He was accompanied on his visit by his head coach and East Tennessee native, Billy Seals. The longtime defensive guru that led Huntington to the state championship game just a few years ago isn't shy about which school he is rooting for each Saturday. That also puts Tennessee in a pressure packed situation to live up to the stories told to Wright.
"It definitely exceeded it," Wright said. "It better have been good as much as (Seals) talks about it in class every day." Wright has offers from everywhere. Ohio State, Florida, Virginia Tech and the Vols are just a few of the schools that frequent West Virginia. He's also done very well at camps this spring, including the Rivals 5-Star challenge.
"I'm happy," Wright said. "I've just been working and finally it's paying off. It's just a blessing. (Billy Ross) showed me the ropes with recruiting and everything. Just told me to take it easy and not think to much about it. Just keep working hard." And as for a return visit to Rocky Top? "I want to come back for sure," Wright said. "I think I'm going to come to the Georgia game. That will be fun. Everyone here is having a good time."
