The Texas Longhorns have been on the trail looking for a quarterback commit to their 2021 class after losing Jalen Milroe to Alabama. They found their quarterback with a local product right there in Austin. Charles Wright announced his commitment to Texas on Saturday afternoon on Twitter. Wright was previously committed to Iowa State.
First off, I would like to thank Iowa State for everything they’ve done for me and my family throughout the recruiting process. Thank you to Coach Sheelhaase for offering me my first scholarship and to Coach Campbell, Gordon, and Manning for believing in me from day 1. After a lot of prayer and talking to my parents I’ve decided to decommit from Iowa State University. With that being said I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at The University of Texas. I want to thank Coach Herman and Coach Yurcich for their belief in me as a player and person. It’s been a life long dream of mine to be a Longhorn and I’m extremely excited to start this new chapter in my life. Longhorn Nation, I can’t wait to get to work! #HookEm – Wright via his tweet about his commitment to Texas.
Charles Wright currently plays at Austin High School. He is the 39th ranked Pro Style quarterback of the 2021 class. Wright will replace Milroe as their lone quarterback commit of the class. Wright will find himself in competition in 2021 with Hudson Card, Ja’Quinden Jackson and Casey Thompson for the starting job following Sam Ehlinger’s expected exit following the season.
