According to multiple reports, Yuri Wright has shunned Rutgers and Notre Dame in favor of Colorado!
Was Yuri Wright’s Offer From Notre Dame Still Good?
Yesterday, Colorado received some excellent news from Yuri Wright, one of the top cornerbacks in the country, as the New Jersey prospect commited to the Buffaloes over the Notre Dame, Rutgers and others.
But now one website is claiming that his offer from Notre Dame was not still valid. Steve Wilftong of 247 Sports says that the staff chose to move in another direction, just as Michigan is thought to have done when it discovered Wright’s tweets. Wiltfong is a seasoned recruiting reporter, but the circumstances here are suspect. Namely, no reputable outlet reported that his scholarship offer had been revoked by Notre Dame prior to him committing elsewhere.

At 6’2” and 185 pounds, Wright has prototypical size for the position. He’s long and strong, and his speed is adequate. He’s extremely versatile, and should have no problem playing both man and zone coverage. And he’s not afraid to be physical with opposing receivers. There are very few weaknesses in Wright’s game that can’t be fixed with some coaching and experience. If he stays healthy and works hard, Wright has all the talent to be an All-Pac 12 performer. Colorado is getting a player who should definitely see significant snaps from day one.
Wright recently ran into a bit of trouble, as he was expelled from his school over some inappropriate Twitter messages. The same twitter messages also reportedly led to Michigan rescinding his offer.
