Name: Elijah “Bubba” Wright
Position: Defensive Line
Year: Redshirt Freshman

Weight: 277 lbs
Hometown: Syracuse, NY
High School: Solvay High School
2021 stats: Did not play last season.
2022 projections: Even with the many departures on the defensive line, Wright will likely only rotate in at best. He could see some time on special teams.
How’d he get here?: Wright joined the Orange as a Preferred Walk-On in 2020, turning down offers from Albany, American International, Cortland, Hobart and Utica.
What’s recruiting sites say?: Nobody showed the guy any love as he went unrated.
Money quote: “A lot of the Solvay coaching staff played at SU. Carrying on that tradition means a lot, knowing I’ll carry on that legacy.”
