Former USC cornerback Ceyair Wright has signed with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. It’s a transfer from the Big Ten to college football, something we couldn’t say a 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 still has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
In 2021, Wright was ranked as the nation’s No. 78 overall prospect and No. 7 corner, by 247 Sports. Nebraska was among his finalists at the time, although he committed to USC before visiting Lincoln.
The 6-foot-2, 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 matches, 11 as a starter. He recorded 28 tackles, one interception and two pass breakups that season.
The former top 100 and four-star recruit in the class of 2021 was previously an actor, appearing in numerous films, 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 documentary “Dual Threat” produced by Overtime.
