Wright Eyes Bowl Return

Saturday, Nov. 21

Wright told Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports on Saturday that he has begun running and expects to play in Arizona's bowl game.

The junior has been battling a sprained right foot after recovering from meniscus surgery.

This year has hardly been the follow-up season he envisioned after a 164-tackle, 15-sack campaign in which he won the 2014 Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Rotary Lombardi Award and Chuck Bednarik Award. This season, Wright has just eight tackles, but he told Feldman that he's "feeling a lot better." 

Wright's injury is just one of five at the linebacker position that the Wildcats defense has had to overcome this year. Starting the season ranked 22nd in the Associated Press Top 25, Arizona is 6-6, allowing an average of 34.2 points per game, 105th in the nation.

Getting Wright back in the lineup should give Arizona a lift during the bowl season, but it could be the last game of his collegiate career as he may decide to enter the 2016 NFL draft.

If he does go, a big performance in a bowl game would be a lasting image for NFL scouts.
