The Texas Longhorns could land a huge recruiting target later this week. 5-star wide receiver Brysen Wright will announce his commitment this Thursday, Nov. 5. The No. 1 ranked 2028 recruit in the nation will pick between Texas, Florida and Miami.
The five-star Mandarin High School prospect was ranked by USA TODAY as the No. 1 high school football prospect in the nation before the season started for the 2028 recruiting class. Standing almost 6-foot-4 and weighing 215-pounds, the Jacksonville native was a highly sought after recruit before he ever played a down for the Mandarin Mustangs.

Wright has become an online viral sensation with his gravity-defying catches during off-season work in flag football. He earned the NFL Flag Player of the Year for 2025 and was honored during an NFL ceremony in February held during the week of the Super Bowl.
You probably won’t see a better catch today.

The tall and physically dominant receiver is noted for his catching ability in traffic and his athletic ability to break tackles in the open field. Wright has helped lead the 9-1 Mustangs to the Florida High School Athletic Association Region 1-5A playoffs, where Mandarin is expected to be the No. 1 seed when the tournament starts on Nov. 13.
