Abram Wright will be at Rutgers football this weekend for an official visit, just as his recruitment is starting to pick up.
Wright, at 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds from Fleming Island (Orange Park, FL) just picked up an offer from Duke on June 1. And this past weekend, Wright ran a blistering 4.58 time in the 40 at the Wake Forest camp.
Last season, Wright had 76 total tackles and seven sacks in 11 games. This production certainly backs up his recently timed 40.
Duke and Rutgers remain his only Power Five at the present time. But that clocked 40-time run by the class of 2023 linebacker is certainly going to open some eyes.
And it is certainly an imperfect comparison but at the NFL combine in March, Utah linebacker Devin Lloyd ran a 4.66 time in the 40.

Lloyd was a first round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars, selected No. 27 overall.

Jack Sanborn, an undrafted rookie free agent who was All-Big Ten the past two years, ran a 4.73 time at the combine.

It is an imperfect comparison as both players have more bulk and muscle mass than Wright, but it certainly gives an indication of what his speed at his current size can bring to a program.
According to 247Sports, he is a three-star recruit and the No. 103 player in Florida.
