Kenneth "Moe" Wright earned three letters on the gridiron under Coach Tucker from 1955-57, helping capture the OVC championship in 1955. During his career, Tech posted an 18-11-1 overall record and went 11-14 in conference play. Wright led the conference in rushing with 684 yards during the 1957 season and was named an All-OVC back. He was the winner of the Robert Hill Johnson Award later that same year.
