COLUMBIA, SC -- When it comes to Benedict College football, “Big Stan” can refer to two people. There’s Stan Conner, who’s entering his second season as Tigers’ head coach, and then there’s 6-3, 350-pound offensive guard Stanley Wright. The Holly Hill native has not only been a mainstay for Benedict, playing all three positions (center, tackle and guard) on the offensive line, but also a positive influence.
The Bulldogs played respectable football last week against FBC UCF.“He’s a talent,” Conner said. “Stan is concerned about being at the top of his game and he’s a leader both on and off the field. “And it’s not always vocal. He works. He comes to practice and when he’s out there, he’s always doing what he supposed to do. He’s one of the guys who does a lot of communicating on the line and that’s why we’ll move him sometime. We had to move him to center one time. He’s a guy that if we need somebody, we’ll put Stan there.”
