Alabama Football Recruiting reached into south Florida again signing defensive back Daniel Wright.

Wright had over thirty offers, including Texas, Tennessee, USC, Penn State, FSU, Auburn, Georgia, Miami, Florida, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Clemson, Ohio State, and Oklahoma.

Wright had been committed to Florida State until December when he flipped his verbal commitment to the Crimson Tide.

Daniel’s older brother Major Wright had a strong career as a Florida Gator but that was not a factor in Daniel’s college choice.

This video discusses his FSU commitment and also discusses him playing offense and defense in high school:

Wright is a talented player with considerable potential. He may well need a redshirt year to add weight to his frame in preparation for tackling SEC backs and receivers.

Alabama fans welcome Daniel Wright to the 2017 Alabama Crimson Tide.
