Another promising offensive player left the Arizona Wildcats after the dismissal of head coach Kevin Sumlin. Freshman wide receiver Ma'Jon Wright officially entered the NCAA transfer portal after one season at the UA.Β
Wright confirmed his decision to transfer with the Star on Tuesday, which was first reported by Rivals.Β
Wright is the fourth wide receiver to leave Arizona since the UA parted ways with Sumlin on Dec. 12, joining Boobie Curry and Tucson natives Jamarye Joiner and Stanley Berryhill. Quarterback Grant Gunnell also transferred from the program in the wake of Sumlin's firing.Β
Arizona wide receiver Ma'jon Wright (18) brings down a catch over USC cornerback Chris Steele (8) in the third quarter of their Pac 12 game at Arizona Stadium, Tucson, Ariz., November 14, 2020.
