"I talked to Cedrick and we both felt it was in his best interests to get a fresh start somewhere else," head coach Mark Richt said in a statement. "We wish him all the best in his future plans."
Wright was suspended for the North Carolina State game last season, and he was one of seven players who didn't travel with the team to the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando for failing to meet team standards.
The Homestead native played in nine games as a true freshman last season and recorded six tackles.
