Wright took a visit tpo South Carolina two weeks ago and after weighing his options, he chose the home-state team over the Gamecocks.
"I think first, they have been recruiting me since my junior year," he comented on his decision. "They were there early and I think I can go in there early and play and make a big impact.
"My family also played a big role. They really wanted me to go there."
Wright makes the 33rd commitment for the Bulldog class of 2007, including three players that signed earlier this month.
