Wright's skill as a ball carrier posed a threat to opposing defenses during his tenure in college. He also proved that he can be a decent receiving outlet in the passing game with his 22 catches in 2024.

Wright, who had eight touchdowns in each of his two seasons with the Bulls, consistently displayed an affinity for scoring in college.
