Drew Wright

[white defensive back]

Drew Wright was the third string rb for Boise State this year. He actually averaged 5.1 ypc. while Doug Martin and DJ Harper averaged less than 5 and were both seniors this year while Wright is only a sophomore. Does anyone on this board think Wright could start next year? With only Shoemaker leaving for the NFL this team could have a starting white rb with 5 white wr's, two who are very exploseive ( the Burroughs brothers and a whole bunch of white defensive backs in the 2 deep. Its to bad Boise was't a Mormom school as they would attract even more white athletes.

Here is Wright's bio from the Boise State website. I haven't looked up his high school highlights yet, but from his size he looks to be a scatback. Boise State mostly uses him in the appropriate WSTD role. Looking at his HS writeup in his bio, he is the typical white RB, all-state honors, best of the best, etc., yet is ignored by recruiters. A poster could make a full-time job out of simply looking up and documenting "overlooked" white skill position players all around this country.
