Nahshon capped off his collegiate career at Oregon State with 64 tackles, 1.5 tackles, one sack, five interceptions, 11 pass deflections, and one forced fumble.
Last season, Wright intercepted two passes, broke up six, and tallied 30 tackles in six games while earning All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention honors.
