Jacardia Wright

2017 Illinois All-State 3A, Macon County Player of the Year for the second straight season. Totaled 2,124 yards rushing on 202 carries and 30 TDs. Caught 6 passes for 40 yards and a TD and threw a 37-yd TD pass. Also a dangerous returner. Averaged 30.8 yds. per kickoff return and scored 2 TDs. Averaged 15.8 yards on punt returns and had 1 TD for a total of 35 TDs. Also played DB where he racked up 48 tackles, 37 solo, and 2 INTs (1 returned for TD). A dynamic athlete that could be a RB or a S. Is up to 200 pounds and is a powerful runner. Doesn’t have the breakaway speed that is preferable but he simply makes plays. He can run over you and he also makes great cuts. Is generating some Big Ten interest but does not have an offer yet.
