Texas offers Vanderbilt transfer LB De’Rickey Wright

The Texas Longhorns extended an offer to former Vanderbilt Commodores linebacker De’Rickey Wright on Wednesday, hours after the hybrid defender entered the NCAA transfer portal.

Wright also announced on offer from Oklahoma State on Thursday.

A 6’4, 230-pounder, Wright was a consensus four-star prospect out of Gadsden, Ala. in the 2020 recruiting class. During his initial recruitment, Wright pledged to Alabama and Ole Miss before signing with Vanderbilt as the nation’s No. 398 prospect and the No. 19 athlete, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
