Football: Penguins Add Top 100 Florida Prospect to Class
Youngstown -- The Youngstown State football team added one of the top 70 college-eligible prospects in the state of Florida to their 2003 recruiting class on Friday with the signing of Orlando Edgewater standout linebacker Jeremiah Wright, Coach Jon Heacock announced.
    Wright, a 5-10, 195-pounder, was listed as the 67th top prospect out of 100 by the Orlando Sun-Sentinel in February. At Edgewater, he was a two-time All-Central Florida team selection and as a senior was a second-team all-state selection by the Florida Sports Writers Association.
    In 2002, Edgewater finished 12-2 losing 19-14 in the Class 6A Championship Game to Miami Norland. His senior year, Wright recorded 124 tackles and 10 sacks and was named his team's defensive player of the year.
    As a junior, he had 130 tackles and six sacks and as a sophomore had 95 tackles and five sacks. In 2001, he was named to the All-Central Florida Football Team.
    He also competed in track as part of the 4x100-meter relay team that finished third in the state and second at the regional track meet.
    Wright becomes the 19th member of this year's signing class and is the 16th of the class to play on the defensive side of the ball. He is also the fifth student-athlete from Florida to sign with the Penguins.
