Undersized center will be busy camper

Junior To Watch: Rashad Wright
School: Greenbelt (Md.) Eleanor Roosevelt

Position: Center and defensive tackle
Size and speed: Wright is 6-foot-1 and 240 pounds. He runs the 40-yard dash in 5.0 seconds.
Favorite schools: Maryland, UVA, UConn, Boston College, Delaware and Towson.
Skinny: Wright is a powerful lineman receiving attention from several eastern schools. He has an impressive list of camps he's been invited to, and should make a name for himself over the summer.
"Players on our team haven't really sat down and made a final decision on what camps they're going to, but I'm going to decide soon. I've been invited to camp at Miami, Boston College, UVA, Maryland, UConn, Delaware, Towson and some others. I haven't taken any visits yet except to see a spring game at UConn. I had an awesome time and that's one of the reasons I'm so high on UConn."
Wright would be a bit undersized as a college center now but could easily put on 20-30 pounds and develop into a solid player. He has good mobility and the work ethic to go far at the next level.
"I'm keeping things open now but some of my favorites are probably Maryland, UConn, Delaware and some others because they're closest to home and have showed the most attention. Academics are what have really attracted me to all my favorites. I like schools that have a lot of opportunities in the classroom for players, and the quality of the football program is second in my mind. I'm looking for a place where coaches really care about the players and give them a lot of respect."
