Former FSU WR invited to Buccaneers rookie minicamp

Wright Jr. ended up East Carolina for his final season at the college level. He found his footing with the Pirates, starting in ten of his 11 appearances and catching 54 passes for 556 yards and eight touchdowns while rushing 13 times for 91 yards. Wright Jr. also returned 22 kickoffs for 590 yards (26.8 yards per return) and one touchdown.

Though he wasn't selected during the 2025 NFL Draft, Wright Jr. is getting another opportunity in the Sunshine State. Wright Jr. will be joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for rookie minicamp next month.

If he's healthy, Wright Jr. brings interesting potential as a kickoff returner at the next level. He broke West Virginia's single-game record for kickoff returns in 2021. During his three seasons with the Mountaineers, Wright Jr. returned 50 kickoffs for 1,236 yards (24.7 yards per return) and two touchdowns.

The 5-foot-10, 188-pound wide receiver posted a 4.43 40-yard dash at East Carolina's Pro Day. It seems like he's coming a long way from the leg injury that nearly ended his football career three years ago.
