Donte Wright's size, athleticism, and smooth movement skills in coverage remind us of Quinyon Mitchell. Wright is a much more well-known prospect at the same stage in their careers, as Mitchell flew under the radar until he got to college. Mitchell was a three-sport athlete (basketball, track) and two-way player at the high school level, while Wright primarily plays corner and runs track. 

Versatile defensive back who has shown the ability to play anywhere in the secondary. Was more of a safety early on in his career and plays a physical game with a nice edge to him. Moved to corner full time halfway though sophomore season and has the kind of size and twitch that projects really well to the next level. Boasts an athletic 6-foot-1, 175 pound frame with plenty of length. Really strong in press coverage and has the long speed to turn and run with anyone. Has a track background with personal best times of 10.66-100m and 21.80-200m. Explosive getting in and out of his breaks and is an excellent run defender. Can be overly handsy at times and will need to temper his aggressiveness but has all the physical traits and compete level to play on Sunday’s.
