Tom Wright is in his first season as Davidson's wide receivers coach.

Wright joins Thakkar's staff after spending the last four years at Maritime College, where he most recently served as the Passing Game Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach.

The holder of numerous Maritime College passing records and a three-year starter at quarterback, Wright led the Privateers to a 19-7 record and three postseason appearances (2016 ECAC Bowl, 2017 New England Bowl, 2018 New England Bowl) during that span.  He is Maritime’s all-time record-holder in every major passing category, including attempts (783), completions (440), yards (5,682) and touchdowns (52).  Wright was responsible for 6,298 yards of total offense and 68 touchdowns during his career.

In 2018, he was named team MVP, Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) Offensive Player of the Year and First Team All-ECFC after posting a 156.06 passer rating.  Overall, Wright earned ECFC Offensive Player of the Week honors eight different times across three seasons.

Upon completion of his Maritime career, Wright participated in NFL Pro Days at both Columbia University and Army West Point.  He was also invited to try out for five Canadian Football League (CFL) teams.

Wright received a bachelor’s degree from Maritime in International Trade & Transportation in May 2022.
