Background & career
Hayden Wright is a 6'5", 285-pound right tackle from Kingwood, Texas, who transfers to Houston after spending the 2025 season at Northwestern without appearing in games. A three-star prospect ranked No. 143 nationally at offensive tackle by recruiting services, Wright helped Kingwood High School reach its first Texas Class 6A quarterfinals appearance since 1990 as a senior. That season, he contributed to Kingwood's single-season rushing yards record. Wright chose Houston for its proximity to home and coaching staff.
