Bethune-Cookman football player faces attempted murder, drug charges

DAYTONA BEACH -- A Bethune-Cookman football player, who police said was dealing drugs to make ends meet, now faces a slew of charges, including attempted murder, after he pulled a shotgun on a man who owed him money.

Brandon Wright, a back-up cornerback and running back on the Wildcats, was arrested at his dorm room Monday where police discovered cocaine, marijuana, and the shotgun used in the attempted murder, said Daytona Beach police chief Mike Chitwood.

"He had no record." Chitwood said. "He was very honest and forthright. He came right out and said I did it."

Wright went to DeLand High School where he was quarterback until his graduation in 2004. He signed with the Naval Academy in 2005 and played in 2006 but never made the varsity team. He transferred to B-CU for the 2007 season, where he was the third-string quarterback.
