A big-bodied tight end with a large catch radius, Dae'Quan Wright turned two productive seasons at Virginia Tech and Ole Miss into an undrafted deal with the Eagles.
Dae'Quan Wright joins the Eagles' tight end room as an undrafted free agent out of Ole Miss, bringing four years of college production across two SEC-caliber programs. At 6-foot-4 with a nearly 6-foot-7 wingspan, he profiles as a physical target who can win contested catches, and he'll compete for a roster spot in a crowded Philadelphia tight end group.
Path to the league
Wright, a three-star recruit out of Perry High School in Perry, Georgia, began his college career at Virginia Tech, where he worked his way into the starting lineup as a sophomore. He entered the transfer portal and landed at Ole Miss, where he started all 15 games in his final season and became a featured part of the Rebels' passing attack.
Career highlights
Across four seasons and two programs, Wright totaled 113 receptions for 1,603 yards and nine touchdowns. He earned second-team All-SEC honors in 2025 after a season that included a nine-catch, 99-yard, two-touchdown outing against Arkansas, and he finished as one of the more experienced tight ends available in the 2026 draft class.
2025 season recap
In his lone season at Ole Miss, Wright caught 39 passes for 635 yards, finishing second on the team with five receiving touchdowns. The production went unrewarded on draft weekend, but the Eagles signed him as an undrafted free agent immediately afterward, giving him a chance to make the roster as a rookie.
