Sharks Add Former Sandalwood Standout

by Dexter Jackson

JACKSONVILLE, FL - The Jacksonville Sharks are proud to announce the signing of Jacksonville's own rookie RB Logan Wright (6'0,230) from Georgia Southern. The former Sandalwood Saint led the area in rushing as a senior. Wright comes back to his hometown this 2024 season looking to help the Sharks make another Championship run at the running back position. 

At Sandalwood, Wright took the city by storm making a name for himself by running for 1,801 yards and 18 touchdowns as a junior, earning a first-team nod on the 2015 Class 8A All-State Elite Team. He then went on to run for 2,221 yards and 26 touchdowns in nine games his senior year, leading the city of Jacksonville. He was also named first-team selection to the Florida All-State Class 8A team, All-Gateway Conference first team and The Times-Union’s All-First Coast first team as a senior. 

Wright signed with Georgia Southern University and continued to add to his accolades being named All Sun Belt Conference two years in a row (2020,2021). The former Eagle tallied up 1997 yards rushing, 308 yards receiving, and 18 touchdowns in his career as an Eagle. Wright is a huge sign for the Sharks who look to adapt to the IFL style of game using true running backs in their system. Wright looks to continue his leading rushing ways as a Shark behind his explosive style of running and big play capability.
