Bryan Wright was one of the many players who really broke out for the Cincinnati Bearcats in 2018. During his first few years in Cincinnati, he had trouble playing full seasons, redshirting in 2015 and then appearing in eight and seven games, respectively, in 2016 and 2017. That 2017 season was cut short by injury, which put him in recovery mode heading into 2018. Considering he had 43 tackles combined in those seasons, it wasn’t a guarantee that he would be a significant contributor or even have the chance to be in 2018. As we now know, he turned into one of the best defenders on the team.
