Former IMG Academy head coach Kevin Wright is expected to join the IU staff as tight ends coach.

Sources have confirmed with Peegs.com the report from Bruce Feldman of The Athletic that Kevin Wright will be joining the Indiana Football coaching staff. Wright is expected to replace Nick Sheridan as the tight ends coach after Sheridan was promoted to offensive coordinator and moved back to coaching quarterbacks.

Wright had been the head coach at IMG Academy until a few weeks ago when he stepped down. In his five years at the Florida based school he had a record of 44-2.

Prior to taking over the IMG program Wright was the head coach at Carmel H.S. from 2010-14. The Greyhounds won one state title and finished runner-up twice with Wright leading the way. He went 54-11 in his five seasons at Carmel.

Wright came to Carmel after leaving the state of Indiana for a position at Tulsa Union H.S. in Oklahoma in 2006. Wright also coached at Indianapolis Warren Central H.S., and with the Warriors he won state titles in 2003, '04 and '05.

Wright has experience at the college level as he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for two seasons at Western Kentucky.

Wright is the son of legendary Indiana high school coach Larry 'Bud' Wright at Sheridan. Wright played for his father at Sheridan and graduated from there in 1983. He attended Western Kentucky University. Following his graduation from Western Kentucky he was an assistant at North Central for four years before getting his first head coaching job at Frankfort in 1991. He was the head coach at Noblesville in 1992, and he has also coached for one season at Louisville Trinity in 1998.
