So who is Charles Wright?
A Texas legacy, Wright grew up a huge Longhorns fan, but was only able to live out his dream because of Ewers — when the Southlake Carroll standout committed to Texas in August of 2020, the ensuing fallout of that decision resulted in the decommitment of Katy Tompkins standout Jalen Milroe, who quickly pledged to and signed with Alabama in the 2021 recruiting class.
Milroe’s decision left former head coach Tom Herman and his staff scrambling to find a quarterback in that cycle. Days after Milroe flipped to the Crimson Tide, Herman extended an offer to Wright, who was then committed to the Cyclones.
Wright needed little time to make his decision, decommitting from Iowa State and pledging to Texas on the same day as he received his offer. But that doesn’t mean it was an easy choice for the 6’1, 202-pounder.

During Monday's PC, Sark spoke of Wright's improvement from last year: “I give Charles a lot of credit. He has made strides in leaps and bounds from a year ago, from this time as a true freshman to where he is today. I think he’s got a good grasp of our offense, a good understanding of managing things. I think he’s thrown the ball much better, much more accurately. He’s a lot more confident...”
Sark then broke out into song: "If loving Ewers is wrong, I don't want to beat Wright."
