Social media reacts to Nebraska football landing Ceyair Wright
Ceyair Wright is officially a member of the Nebraska football team. He comes over to Lincoln from USC and adds some depth that the Huskers needed pretty badly.
Thanks to Blye Hill going down, Wright has a chance to make a real impression with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Though there are some people who wonder whether he can overcome his 2023 struggles.
He came into last season projected to be a starting corner for the Trojans. But had a truly horrific season. It was bad enough that not only was he benched but he eventually left the team.
That's how he eventually became a member of the Nebraska football team. How he was available to be picked up by the Huskers. And when he announced he was transferring to Lincoln, it definitely meant that there is a chance that the Cornhhuskers just upgraded their secondary room.
That was part of the reactions to Ceyair Wright announcing he'd committed to NU.

Huge commitment in light of the thin defensive secondary
Let’s go! 👏🏼 HUGE commitment in light of us being thin at Cornerback. He’ll most likely play opposite of Tommy Hill. We aren’t sure when CB Blye Hill will return from his injury. #GBR https://t.co/0U5oOfbeRi

The Nebraska football team had to add some depth to the secondary thanks to injuries and some of the guys they hoped would be better than they are, not actually being better than they are.
There's been some worries about the kind of comments the coaches have said heading into fall camp next month. There have been some comments that maybe head coach Matt Rhule isn't all that excited about his starting corners. Especially with Blye Hill down.
Wright is going to be given every chance to start. And Nebraska football followers certainly know that.
