Abram Wright talks Rutgers football offer, June visit

Florida linebacker Abram Wright discusses his recruitment.

Abram Wright pulled in an offer from Rutgers football a week ago and now the Florida linebacker is eyeing a potential official visit to the Big Ten program next month.

Rutgers was the first Power Five offer for Wright, a class of 2023 prospect who is under-recruited in what is a bumper year for athletes in Florida. He also holds offers from programs like Delaware, Georgia Southern and Miami (OH) among others.

Wright, a linebacker for Fleming Island High School (Orange Park, FL), had 76 total tackles a season ago along with seven sacks, an interception and a hurry. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound linebacker moves well in coverage, is a sure tackler and has good footwork.

Fleming Island finished last season 6-5.
