'Greatest Six Years!' Aggies TE Max Wright Reflects On Time At Texas A&M And NFL Draft
Texas A&M Aggies tight end Max Wright completed his college career this past season and is preparing for April's NFL Draft. Wright joined the Aggies in 2018 as a freshman but saw limited playing time in his first three seasons. It wasn't until 2021 during his junior season that he appeared in 12 games and caught three balls for 23 yards.
During his six seasons in College Station, Wright played in 39 games and caught 32 passes for 441 yards and three touchdowns.

He sat with TexAgs.com to discuss his six seasons in Aggieland as well as his preparations to turn pro. He discussed his time in College Station as well as what steered him to Kyle Field and A&M rather than Baylor.
"This has been the greatest six years, which a lot of guys can't say, of my entire life, "Wright said. "Coming out of high school, it was obvious where I wanted to go. I am actually a generational Baylor Bear. I came here for a couple of games and saw Kyle Field. Saw the Tennessee game when we won in OT.
"I fell in love with it. Just the people, the atmosphere, the fans, everyone was so geninue. From the first day on campus, I knew this is where I wanted to be. Even with the transfer portal, I would have not gone anywhere. This is where I wanted to be."
Wright quickly established himself as a team and fan favorite, and he knows that's rare because of the position that he played.
"It’s an honor to been seen as a face of a program, especially one of this magnitude and is obviously so respected around the country," Wright continued. "It's been cool. Tight end doesn’t really get the most love.
"I was coming back from a ranch weekend trip and someone stopped me. It was a sobering moment because I am done being a Texas A&M football player.
Wright discussed preparing for the NFL Draft and how his diet and workout plan have put him in the best shape of his life.
"This is the hardest training I have ever done. I have a laid out diet. I am in the best shape of my life, and I have been doing this for three weeks," Wright said. "I am open to play anywhere. I am trying to put that out. I am thankful for that here because I had work at fullback. Earnest Crownover came in and killed it, so they did not need me. I love having my hand in the dirt and going toe-to-toe at the tight end spot. I can also get back there and get ahead of steam and be a great lead blocker."
