Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright III (33) pressures Arizona State quarterback Mike Bercovici (2) before a sack during the fourth quarter of the No. 12 University of Arizona vs. No. 13 Arizona State college football game on Friday, Nov. 28, 2014, at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Ariz. Arizona won 42-35.

Scooby a cover boyΒ 

When Scooby Wright won nearly every major defensive award last season and was named a unanimous first-team All-America selection, it cemented his place as one of the best to play at Arizona.

It also guaranteed something else: The UA’s middle linebacker, who tormented opposing offenses last year, was in line to be a cover boy. May, June and July are the months for preseason college football magazines, and Wright is gracing the front of a lot of them.

Most preseason publications produce national and regional covers. Wright is on the cover of the Sporting News, Athlon and Lindy’s preseason regional covers.Β
