Depth Chart Overview
Wright has had an interesting career after coming to Auburn as a member of the 2020 recruiting class. He moved over to the defensive line as a freshman and looked to be a breakout player as a sophomore before an injury ended his season in camp.
He was moved back to the offensive line last season and excelled at creating holes for Auburn’s running backs. Wright has been battling to be the starting left guard and is now competing with [autotag]Gunner Britton[/autotag].
He has had a solid fall and spring camp session and even if he doesn’t win the starting job he should see plenty of action, especially when Auburn is looking to run the ball.
