New Illinois football Coach Bret Bielema, formerly head coach at the University of Arkansas, announced the hiring of former Razorback Tenarius Wright as his head strength and conditioning coach on Sunday.
Wright had served as an assistant on the strength and conditioning staff at Arkansas under Bielema and Ben Herbert (2014-17) before following Herbert to Michigan to work on Jim Harbaugh’s staff in 2018.
The Memphis native, who racked up nine sacks and 20 tackles for loss as a linebacker and defensive end with the Razorbacks (2008-12) spent two seasons at Michigan before joining the staff at Army in 2020 as defensive line coach.
