A three-year Stanford starter and team captain who signed with Houston as an undrafted free agent known for his zone-coverage instincts.
Collin Wright served as a captain and three-year starter in Stanford's secondary before going undrafted in 2026 and signing with the Texans. He is not a burner, but his football intelligence and physicality as a tackler give him a real shot at sticking on a roster as a zone-first corner.
Path to the league
A standout at Manvel High School in Texas, where he earned seven varsity letters and was a three-time all-state selection, Wright signed with Stanford in the 2022 class. He started at cornerback for three seasons and served as a team captain before going unselected in the 2026 NFL Draft and signing with Houston as an undrafted free agent.
Career highlights
Wright played both inside and outside in Stanford's secondary over his career, racking up 16 pass breakups over his final three seasons. Scouts pegged him as a cerebral, zone-first cornerback with strong route recognition and communication skills, along with aggressive, willing tackling in run support.
2025 season recap
Wright closed out his Stanford career in 2025 as a full-time starter and captain, continuing to be one of the more active tacklers among the Cardinal's defensive backs. His testing at the combine and pro day, including a 39-inch vertical jump, reinforced his reputation as a physical, high-effort defender even though he went unselected in the draft.
