LAFAYETTE — There were a lot of repetitions to be had in the first few weeks of spring practice for Louisiana-Lafayette redshirt freshman running back Jordan Wright, and he appears to have made the most of those.
“He’s probably been the biggest surprise of the spring,” Cajuns coach Mark Hudspeth said. “He’s probably been one of the most improved players this spring, too.”
With rising seniors Elijah McGuire and Jalen Nixon out of the mix — McGuire was on the basketball team for the first few weeks of spring practice and Nixon was hurt — Wright was one of just three healthy running backs on the roster.
