Sleeper: Brandon Wright, RB

This was one of the quieter recruitments of any in the 2019 class as Brandon Wright and that was quite alright with the staff as he could end up being one of the more productive players.

No one is really talking about Wright though he does fill a position that will need some variety as the coaching staff evaluates potential starters over the next few years. Moreover, everyone has been so concerned about losing Aaron Young that Wright has flown under the radar.

Wright doesn’t have a ton of speed, but he has great vision and a knack for hitting the hole and fighting off would-be tacklers. That doesn’t mean he’s not fast, but he’s not the speed-back that Young was.

The three-star from Euclid, Ohio, is ranked just No. 708 overall and is the 44th-best running back in the class, per 247Sports, and fans don’t know much about him.
