Abram Wright pulled in an offer from Rutgers football a week ago and now the Florida linebacker is eyeing a potential official visit to the Big Ten program next month.
Rutgers was the first Power Five offer for Wright, a class of 2023 prospect who is under-recruited in what is a bumper year for athletes in Florida. He also holds offers from programs like Delaware, Georgia Southern and Miami (OH) among others.
Wright, a linebacker for Fleming Island High School (Orange Park, FL), had 76 total tackles a season ago along with seven sacks, an interception and a hurry. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound linebacker moves well in coverage, is a sure tackler and has good footwork.
Fleming Island finished last season 6-5.

He talked about his offer from Rutgers football, his connection with the coaching staff (head coach Greg Schiano and defender coordinator Joe Harasymiak in particular) as well as an upcoming official visit to the program. He also talks about what programs could be next in line for an offer.
