TC Wright was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and attended Iroquois High School. Sports have always been a big part of his life, thanks to his family’s influence. He came to Spoon River College to play basketball and earned his Associate of Arts degree in 2022. TC chose SRC because he “needed a fresh start” and learned about the college through a friend.
During his time at SRC, he earned numerous honors, including 1st Team All-Conference, 1st Team All-Region, and 2nd Team All-American. After graduating, he continued his education at Campbellsville University before going on to play professional basketball for the Newfoundland Rogues, where he’s competed for the past two years.
In addition to his athletic career, TC has worked as an aide for elderly patients with traumatic brain injuries. He considers graduating from both high school and college his greatest achievements, as many of his friends were not able to accomplish the same.
Looking back, TC says what he enjoyed most about SRC was the close-knit bond among the sports teams and athletes. His advice to current students is: “Enjoy your time and cherish it. I’ve been all over the world, and Spoon is a place I still cherish. There’s no place like Spoon.”
When he’s not on the court, TC enjoys cooking, playing video games, and coaching.
