Bright Ugwoegbu (pronounced oog-way-boo) is a prototypical college linebacker when he’s wearing his No. 47 uniform.
He’s lean (6-foot-1, 217 pounds) and fit. A multisport athlete at Seven Lakes High School in Katy, Texas, he’s athletic, runs well, loves to hit, and is making a strong case for a starting role in a position where opportunity abounds due to graduation and other circumstances.
“After having a good spring and being in the mix right now, my goal is to hopefully become a freshman All-American, to be a leader on the defense and contribute in any way that I can,” he said, speaking while cooling off after a recent practice.
