Phoebus (Hampton, VA) star Matt Wright has enjoyed a successful past few weeks. First, he picks up another scholarship offer and then he helped the Phantoms topple Hampton 12-6 in what is one of the best if not the best rivalries in the state of Virginia. Which is the latest school to come in with an offer for the 6-2, 215-pound linebacker prospect?
“I do have a new offer and it’s from UVa,” Wright said. “Coach [Mike] London and I had a real close relationship and I think an offer was there before he left. Once he left, it made things go a lot slower. I was at Virginia recently for the Florida State game. Coach Groh seemed impressed that I was there. I talked to Coach Rocco, my main recruiter, a few days later and he told me Coach Groh wanted to speak to me because there was some good news. Then Coach Groh told me they were offering.
