Today is Jordan Wright's birthday. The day is doubly special for the three-star defensive end because Wright has verbally committed to Kentucky.
The Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Dillard prospect turned down several other big-time offers in choosing the Cats.
Wright is ranked the No. 25 weakside defensive end in the country and the No. 78 prospect in Florida according to Rivals.com.
Over the course of Wright's recruitment he had also received offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Florida State, Louisville, Miami, Michigan, Mississippi State, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh and Southern Cal, among others.
At one point Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari spoke with Wright about the possibility of allowing him to walk-on with his team. Wright is a two-sport star at Dillard.
Wright is also the teammate of three-star (5.7) defensive lineman Jon Ford, a player who will officially visit Kentucky in January. Ford is committed to Miami.
