In his first season in charge of the defensive line at PC, Wright helped lead defensive end Sherman Burnett to All-State honors.

Wright joined the Blue Hose football program from the high school ranks where he experienced a great deal of success as a defensive coordinator. Prior to PC he was Jeff Scott’s defensive coordinator at Blythewood High School.

Wright was Blythewood’s defensive coordinator and strength and conditioning coach during the Bengals’ inaugural season of 2006, helping them to finish the year at 14-1 overall and claim the 2006 South Carolina AAA state title.

Wright’s defense, which featured all-state performer and University of Georgia student-athlete Charles White, held opponents to just 14.7 points-per-game in 2006.

Wright came to Blythewood after a bevy of successful coaching stops in the high school ranks in the Palmetto state. This included a stint as the defensive coordinator at Seneca High School and as an assistant coach at Northwestern High School where he helped the program to a Big 16 state runner-up finish in 2001.

He was an assistant coach at Greer High School for seven years where he helped the 1994 team to an undefeated 15-0 season and the AAA state championship.

Wright is no stranger to PC as he played football in the South Atlantic Conference for Catawba College. He graduated with a bachelors in history and was the captain of the 1993 team.

Wright, who has a masters in Education from Converse is married to the former Susan Gentry of Greer. They have a daughter Kennedy (5) and son, Cade (9 months).
