Wright has accepted his first collegiate coaching job after handling the offensive line, tight ends, and deep snappers for MHS from 2002-04. Wright also taught personal finance and information processing at MHS.

As a high school player Wright won a state championship in 1993, as a sophomore, at South Panola High School in Batesville. The team, coached by his father Willis Wright, has been called one of the best Mississippi high school football teams ever after compiling a 15-0 record and sending several players on to college and pro football careers.

After graduating from South Panola, Wright attended Arkansas State University in Jonesboro where he was a three-year starter at center and deep snapper. Wright spent five seasons with ASU from 1996-2000. A scout team member for one season, Wright became a three-year starter for the Indians at center and deep snapper.

Millsaps College Head Football Coach David Saunders guided the defensive secondary at ASU from 1996-97 where he first met Wright.

Wright now has the chance to coach a Majors offensive line that features First Team All-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference center Conell Phillips (6-1 282) and Second Team All-SCAC tackle Jay Buck (6-5 315). Majors guard Charles Gordon (6-1 295) received Honorable Mention All-SCAC honors for his play in 2004.
