Draft Profile: Bio
Ceyair Wright from Loyola High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Wright opted to join USC after being heavily recruited.

In 2021 as a freshman Wright saw action in just 2 games and played a total of 24 snaps at cornerback for the Trojans. He recorded just one tackle, one assist, while adding no stops. In coverage Wright notched up no pass breakups, no interceptions, and a disapointing QB rating when targetted of 118.8.

As a sophomore in 2022 he played in 13 games and logged 622 snaps for the Trojans. He made 24 tackles, 5 assists, and had 10 stops. In coverage he totaled one pass breakup, one interception, and QB rating when targetted of 81.8.

In 2023 as a junior Wright played in 6 games and contributed on 202 snaps. He chalked up just 9 tackles, 2 assists, and added 3 stops. In the secondary Wright forced 3 pass breakups, no interceptions, and gave up a disapointing QB rating when targetted of 120.2.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Reads receivers' routes and anticipates throws at the first down marker. Covers a lot of ground in a hurry when in space. Reads the quarterback's eyes and sees the routes very quickly, then has straight-line speed to arrive with or just after the ball.
  • Closing speed and willingness to make the big hit make him one of the more versatile safeties in the class.
  • Rare hand-eye coordination and agility, vision and third gear to make a living in the return game.
  • His ball skills are very good. Wright tracks the ball well downfield and has the hands and coordination to come away with interceptions even when Wright isn’t targeted often.
  • Closes to the ball quite well and possesses the hands to snatch throws away from his frame.
  • Fast and agile, he sticks to receivers and closes on the ball.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Has poor recognition skills when facing the action in zone coverage.
  • Holds the ball loosely. Inconsistent in run support. Average tackler
  • At this point, Wright can get outmuscled. Wright also might be susceptible to catch and- run plays. He’ll give effort in run support, but he’s going to struggle to get off blocks against physical outside receivers.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
