Cowboys NFL Draft EXCLUSIVE: 'Family Already!' Rejzohn Wright, Nahshon's Brother, Meets Dallas

After playing together for only one season at Oregon State, brothers Nahshon and Rejzohn Wright are just months away from being in the NFL together. The former is already on the Dallas Cowboys and the latter is receiving interest ... so is a reunion likely?

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Dallas Cowboys are just two years removed from selecting Oregon State cornerback Nahshon Wright in the third round of the NFL Draft ... but they could be lining up to add Oregon State's latest Wright.

That honor belongs to Rejzohn Wright, Nahshon's younger brother and a cornerback prospect expected to hear his name called during April's draft.

Speaking to CowboysSI.com, the younger Wright shared that he's met with Dallas at the NFL Combine and has developed a strong relationship with defensive backs coach Al Harris.

"I did meet with the Cowboys this week," Wright said. "It was informal, and I met with his DBs coach. I watch a lot of my brother's practice film and things like that, so it was pretty easy to talk to coach Al and chop it up - we're like family already."

The 6-2, 196-pound Wright is a tall, lanky corner with 32 1/2-inch arms, something sure to catch the eyes of Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.

Measurables aside, Wright turned in a strong senior season for the Beavers, earning first-team All-PAC 12 honors after intercepting two passes and breaking up nine more.

The elder Wright is coming off his second campaign in Dallas, making seven appearances with two starts while adding four passes defended and his first career interception. Across two seasons, he's played in 20 games and made 32 total tackles.

Naturally, Nahshon and Rejzohn have a tight brotherly bond - and the latter has been particularly reliant on the former while navigating through the pre-draft process.

"My brother, the best advice he gave me was to just enjoy the process, don't stress it too much," Rejzohn said. "Put a big goal for myself - go in the top-100, things like that. He just told me how he thought about his process going into the league and how he felt like as long as he gets an opportunity, he'll be fine.

"I think that was the best advice he gave me, but I've learned from him since I was five."

Should Rejzohn go top-100, he'll join his brother in that category, as Nahshon was selected No. 99 overall by the Cowboys in 2021.

And while the draft cycle isn't particularly close to being over, it's evident that Dallas has a strong relationship with the younger Wright - and could reunite the brothers once more, only adding to the "family" dynamic already present.
