Veteran Auburn OL Jeremiah Wright will return for one more season
Jeremiah Wright, a two-year starter at offensive guard for Auburn, has announced that he will return for one more season via his instagram. Wright signed with Auburn as a three-star recruit in the class of 2020. He will enter his fifth season with Auburn in 2025.
Wright has had a career of ups and downs while at Auburn. He has missed time from an ACL tear and he has flip-flopped between offense and defense a few times. Wright finally found his home as an offensive guard–the spot he held down during the 2024 season. Wright took over at right guard in 2023 and has progressed well since then.
Getting Wright to return for another season was one of the many important recruiting jobs for the Auburn’s staff this offseason.
