Former Vanderbilt and Mississippi State quarterback Mike Wright will take an official visit to Durham this weekend, per 247Sports’ Adam Rowe.

The 6-foot-4 passer spent three seasons with the Commodores before he transferred to the Bulldogs for the 2023 season. His best statistical season came during 2022, his final year with Vanderbilt when he threw for 974 yards and 12 touchdowns against just four interceptions.

Across his career, Wright has completed 55.5% of his passes for 2,520 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions.

Wright also offers one of the most potent dual-threats in the country. He’s compiled 1,229 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground across his collegiate career, including 517 yards and five touchdowns in that same 2022 season.

The Blue Devils already added former Texas quarterback Maalik Murphy to the quarterback room this offseason, and he split time with returning sophomore Grayson Loftis during the spring game.
