TUCSON, Ariz. -- Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright explodes into the guard and helps disrupt the UCLA play. The speed and certainty and unabashed violence with which he charged at the snap caused a reporter to query what sort of stunt the Wildcats were running on the play.

"That's just me playing football," said Wright, who already had moved on to the next scene while watching game film in the linebackers' meeting room inside the two-year-old Lowell-Stevens Football Facility.

Moments before, the typically laconic Wright, with the help of a red laser pointer, broke down another play with such nuanced detail it required 266 words. Sometimes it's predatory instinct and sometimes it's artful interpretation for Wright, but the result is Wright ended up with 19 tackles and three sacks in the game, a 17-7 loss to the Bruins.

Wright not only became the nation's most decorated defensive player in 2014, he became a sensation. He had the fun name --- how can you not root for a guy who has been such a loyal companion to Shaggy? -- and he also owned a compelling backstory.

He was "Two-star Scoob" -- see his Twitter handle -- an overlooked recruit who played like a force of nature, a guy who piled up huge numbers and won the Nagurski, Lombardi and Bednarik awards despite being rejected by every other Pac-12 program. He was a unanimous All-American, the first true sophomore to earn Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year honors and finished ninth in Heisman Trophy balloting.
