In the world of high school sports, few names are generating as much buzz as Trey Wright. The Lone Star High School freshman is already Texas’ No. 1 quarterback for the class of 2028, but it’s his recent exploits on the basketball court that have everyone talking.
When a top football prospect drops 25 points and 7 assists at Nike EYBL Session 2, people start asking: could we be witnessing the rise of a generational two-sport star? Let’s have a look at what makes Wright a phenomenon in the making.
Trey Wright: The Dual-Sport Phenom Texas Can’t Stop Talking About
Wright’s athletic pedigree is undeniable. With a grandfather who played MLB shortstop, a father who was an NFL wide receiver, and a cousin who’s a first-round NFL linebacker, Wright’s family tree is rooted in elite sports. But it’s his own accomplishments that have set him apart.
On the football field, he’s a dynamic dual-threat quarterback, dazzling with his ability to scramble, throw on the run, and make plays that leave defenders grasping at air. “He’s just too good at passing on the move. I mean, just look at the burst out of the pocket here…he’s him,” one analyst remarked, highlighting Wright’s rare combination of agility and football IQ.
On the hardwood, Wright’s basketball instincts are just as sharp. Competing for Drive Nation on the Nike EYBL circuit, he kicked off Session 2 with a commanding 25-point, 7-assist performance.

Wright’s ability to control the tempo and deliver in clutch moments has made him one of the most talked-about underclassmen in the country.
The comparisons to Bo Jackson aren’t just hyperbole. Like Jackson, who stunned the sports world with his explosive speed and power in both football and baseball, Wright is redefining what’s possible for a high school athlete.
From EYBL Stardom to Gridiron Greatness: What’s Next for Trey Wright?
Wright’s recent performance at Nike EYBL Session 2 wasn’t just a flash in the pan. His 25 points and 7 assists came against some of the nation’s top AAU competition, a testament to his ability to shine under pressure. Videos of his playmaking-whether it’s a slick crossover or a no-look dime-have gone viral, with fans and analysts alike marveling at his poise and creativity.
But it’s on the football field where Wright’s legend is truly growing. Already hailed as the No. 1 quarterback in Texas for his class, he’s shown a knack for making the spectacular look routine.
“He’s going to spin out on the evade, point at one wide receiver, then do a McTwist and throw it to the inside receiver. This kid is goated at scrambling,” said a prominent recruiting analyst, underscoring Wright’s improvisational genius. College programs are already circling, eager to land a player who could change the trajectory of their offense.
