Reuben Wright added to Catamount football staff

Head football coach Mark Speir has added Reuben Wright to his coaching staff as the running backs coach.

Wright, who played collegiately at Catawba College in the early 1990s, replaces former assistant coach Jason Nichols who took a similar position at his alma mater, East Carolina, in late February.

Wright officially started in Cullowhee on May 8, and inherits a wealth of talent including three-time 2016 postseason All-America selection, Detrez Newsome.

“Reuben is a tremendous football coach with a ton of coaching experience,” said Speir. “He has spent a lot of time coaching on the defensive side of the football which I feel will prove highly beneficial as we scheme offensively in having his perspective in the offensive meeting room. We are thrilled to have him and his family join our Catamount family.”
