Trevor Wright, No. 1, closes in on Elizabethton’s Ethan Thomas in Greeneville’s 49-20 win in the second round of the state playoffs. Wright has committed to play at UTC.The biggest decision remaining for Trevor Wright now is which side of the ball he will play on. The Greeneville (Tenn.) High School all-state athlete ended his recruiting battle Tuesday by committing to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga during an in-home visit from three Mocs’ coaches.
“We talked about trying me on both sides of the ball when I get there and then the coaches figuring out where I fit in best,” Wright said. “It really doesn’t matter to me. I just want to get on the field and help the team.”
The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Wright became the Mocs’ 13th commitment and third in as many days. Depending on whether he plays defense or offense, he’ll either be the fifth defensive back in this signing class or the second receiver to pledge to UTC in as many days.
In helping Greeneville finish unbeaten in the regular season and reach the Class 4A quarterfinals, Wright averaged 21.4 yards per catch in totaling 750 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns and also had 62 total tackles, four for loss, and returned two of his five interceptions for touchdowns.
