Former USC cornerback Ceyair Wright has signed with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. It’s a Big Ten college football transfer, something we wouldn’t have been able to say at this time one year ago.
Wright, who entered the transfer portal on April 25 after three seasons at USC, announced his commitment to Nebraska on Friday afternoon following an official visit to Lincoln earlier in the week. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
In 2021, Wright was rated as the No. 78 overall prospect in the country and No. 7 corner, from 247 Sports. Nebraska was among his finalists at the time, though he committed to USC before visiting Lincoln.
The 6-foot, 180-pound Wright played in 23 career games during his time with the Trojans. The 2022 season was his most productive, as he played in all 14 games with 11 starts. He recorded 28 tackles, one interception and two pass breakups that season.
The former top-100 prospect and four-star recruit in the 2021 class has previously been an actor, appearing in several movies, TV shows and commercials. He played a fictional son of LeBron James in “Space Jam 2”in 2021. He also appeared on the ABC comedy “Grown-ish.”
During his senior year at Loyola High School, he was the focus of a “Dual Threat” documentary produced by Overtime.
