DANTONIO ON WRIGHT:
“Brandon is a big bodied, physical running back. He’s a 60-meter sprinter, runs a seven flat 60, which is a very good time. He’s also a 22’3” long jumper. He is an explosive player. He also played on the defensive side of the ball as a defensive end for Euclid. Brandon is a very active player and I think he will have certainly a great future here.”
CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/RUNNING BACKS COACH DAVE WARNER ON WRIGHT:
“Brandon is a big, strong back with deceptive speed.”
