  Some might say running back Nay'Quan Wright has come out of nowhere to become Florida's newest playmaker on offense. The reality is, he didn't come out of nowhere. He came from somewhere. And that somewhere - Miami - has shaped who he is and how he plans to live his life. "Growing up as a kid in Miami, I faced a lot of obstacles," Wright said. "(It taught me that) some bumps in the road are going to come. They may hit you unexpectedly, but you have to move on. Adversity, it builds a person. I'm a person that it built. I don't dwell on it. I just move forward." The biggest and most harrowing adversity came early in his life, when he was 11 or 12. It came unexpectedly, out of nowhere, when shots rang out near his football practice one day and he was struck by a bullet.

"It was just a regular day at practice," Wright said. "Shots (were) fired, and coach was yelling, 'Get down.' Everyone got down. And then a bullet ricochet off the ground hit me. And I noticed a couple other people got shot also. "The doctor said I wouldn't (live). My family got a call that I had passed away. I overcame that with the grace of God." Wright said the incident changed him as a person. The biggest thing it did was strengthen his faith. "It just made my connection with God pretty (strong)," he said. "As a person, he changed me, made me always move on and don't take life for granted, just let me know that my life is not my own." - Times Union
