Off the Field with Dexter Wright
1/23/2017 10:08:00 AM | Football
Name: Dexter Wright
Nickname: Dex/Famous Dex/ D Wright Treat Em Right
Five Words (or phrases) to describe me: dark, funny, fast, goofy, intelligent
If a movie were made about me, I would want this actor to play me:Â Denzel because he's the GOAT and he makes every movie great
What I like most about playing for the Wolfpack: suiting up every Saturday and playing with my brothers
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a ______ when I grew up: train conductor
Nobody knows how much I like to: Play Ping Pong
Why I came to NC State: To receive a great education and be able to compete at a high level close to home
Brothers and sisters: Locoya- 37, Derricka- 28
My most embarrassing moment: When I went tubing and I thought I was drowning even though I had my life jacket on and I was above water
My greatest moment outside of sports: being able to sit and talk to some of the military vets in Louisiana
My favorite player when I was a kid: Sean Taylor
I'd like to switch places for a day with: LeBron James so I could see how good it feels to be the best basketball player in the world
If I had to give up all my possessions but one, I'd keep: my cell phone so I could always stay in contact with people
My best non-football talent: playing ping pong
The person(s) who has influenced me the most in my life: my parents, they raised me well and lead me in the right direction so I could become the man I am today.
An interesting story about me is: when I was in 8th grade I broke my collar bone on the last game before my mom was going to take me off the team for having bad grades. So it saved me embarrassment and disappointment.
My favorite quote: "It is what it is if it ain't what it ought to be"
