Jaylen Wright enters his first season at Tennessee in 2021.
He is from Southern High School in Durham, North Carolina and took part in spring practices as an early enrollee freshman.
Wright joined the show “Tennessee Two-A-Days” and discussed how student-athletes can now benefit from their name, image and likeness.
The 5-foot-11, 200-pound running back created a logo for his NIL.
“My logo actually means the cheetah mentality,” Wright said. “It means you have to be able to have ability to think fast, faster than the opponent, be faster in all aspects. I have been fast all my life, so I think the logo really fits me well.”
