Nebraska Cornhuskers have signed former USC cornerback Ceyair Wright for the upcoming college football season. This move is a significant one for Wright, especially considering that just a year ago, it would have been unimaginable.
After spending three seasons at USC, Wright entered the transfer portal on April 25 and ultimately chose Nebraska as his new team. With two seasons of eligibility remaining, he made the decision official following an official visit to Lincoln earlier in the week.
Wright was highly rated in 2021, being ranked as the No. 78 overall prospect in the country and the No. 7 corner by 247 Sports. Nebraska was among his top college choices when he initially committed to USC, but he chose to sign with the Trojans before visiting Lincoln.
During his time at USC, Wright played in 23 career games, with the 2022 season being his most productive. In that season, he played in all 14 games with 11 starts, recording 28 tackles, one interception, and two pass breakups.
Aside from his football career, Wright has also dabbled in acting, appearing in movies, TV shows, and commercials. In 2021, he played a fictional son of LeBron James in “Space Jam 2” and appeared on the ABC comedy “Grown-ish.” At Loyola High School, Wright was the focus of a documentary called “Dual Threat” produced by Overtime.
