24 Aug 2025 501 Football Team 2025: Kyler Wright – Malvern

Kyler Wright will never forget winning the Class 4A championship as a freshman. Just three years into his playing career, he experienced a success that many high school athletes only dream of achieving.

Driven to bring another title home to Malvern, the senior approaches each day with discipline and determination.

“We want to win another state championship,” he said. “It’s a tall order, but I believe in myself and my teammates. Each day, we have to wake up with a winning mentality and outwork everyone else as a team.”

“Kyler is an unselfish player who is willing to do whatever it takes to help his team,” Head Coach John Fogleman said. “We will need his hard work and toughness to rub off on the rest of the team.”

Following an offseason of growth and grit, Wright and the Leopards stand just steps away from fulfilling their goals in 2025.

“I want to be remembered as the guy that never quit or ran out of energy,” he said. “Above all else, I want to be remembered as a great teammate.”

Off the field, Wright plays baseball for the Leopards and shines brightly in the classroom. In addition to a 4.0 GPA, the senior also serves in National Honor Society, Beta Club and Student Council. 

“Leading by example, maintaining good grades and always giving 100-percent effort are the most important things a student-athlete can do,” he said. “Never forget to act your best, because you never know who is watching.”
