Whether it was on the hardwood, gridiron or javelin runway, Devin Wright excelled as a prep standout at Monticello High School, which is located in the tiny town of Monticello in Southeastern Utah.
An 11-time letterwinner in those three sports for the Buckaroos, Wright knew he was destined to play collegiately. And, after racking up more than 2,200 yards rushing and 30 touchdowns, he figured his pathway to college athletics would be football.
