Former Kentucky tailback La'Vell Wright transfers to WKU
Evan Wibberley is making the move up to the SEC from the C-USA after leaving WKU after three seasons and transferring to Kentucky. Now a former Kentucky tailback is moving up a level to join Tyson Helton‘s program in Bowling Green.
La’Vell Wright left Austin Peay for the transfer portal after one season in Clarksville. The Radcliff (Ky.) North Hardin product committed to WKU on Christmas.
La’Vell Wright was a three-star recruit in the 2021 high school cycle that signed with Kentucky. The in-state prospect spent three years in the program and played 132 offensive snaps during his time with the program. Wright recorded 48 rushing attempts for 238 yards and one touchdown during his time at UK. Wright moved to Austin Peay as a redshirt junior and rushed for 609 yards on 5.3 yards per rush and five touchdowns in the FCS.
