Apart from his official visit, Bright never stepped onto FSU campus in Tallahassee, Florida. Because of his 2.5 core grade point average, he needed to get at least an 820 on the SAT to meet the NCAA's minimum eligibility standards, which he did not. Ineligible for college football, Bright briefly attended Hargrave Military Academy, a prep school in Chatham, Virginia, along with fellow Seminoles recruits Matt Hardrick and Justin Mincey. Bright was ranked as the No. 1 prep school prospect by Scout.com. While the Seminoles had a “painfully thin defensive front,” and were in dire need of a nose guard after the graduation of Brodrick Bunkley, his “onetime heir apparent” Bright did not manage to qualify academically.
Opting for the junior college route, he enrolled at Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kansas, to play football. He went through practice in 2007, but left the school before the season began. The birth of his son altered his career, causing him to take a job as a garbage man in Radnor, Pennsylvania, so he could also take night classes at Delaware County Community College. In July 2007, Bright was arrested in the delivery of marijuana to a Montgomery County police informant. Charged with a felony count of possession with the intent to deliver, Bright pleaded guilty and was sentenced to time served and two years' probation.
Bright eventually wound up at Shaw University located in Raleigh, North Carolina. He spent two years on the scout team before regaining his academic eligibility in 2009. In his only season of college football, he registered 48 tackles, 7.5 tackles for a loss and half a sack, which earning him selection to the CIAA All-Rookie team. He then decided to bypass his senior year and to enter the 2010 NFL Draft.
Professional career
After preparing for the draft at All-Star Sports Training in Paisley, Florida, Bright was invited to participate at NC State's pro-day, where he demonstrated his raw strength with 41 reps at the bench press, which was only topped among 2010 draft prospects by Mitch Petrus (45). According to Mike Mayock, there was “some interest in him as a late-draftable/preferred free-agent type.”
While seen as a “prototypical nose guard for teams using the 3–4 defensive scheme,” Bright's background issues scared many teams off. He was not selected by any team in the draft.
Bright then entered the Arena Football League (AFL), first signing with the Jacksonville Sharks and then, over the course of a year and a half, he played for the Philadelphia Soul, New Orleans VooDoo and the Pittsburgh Power before signing with the Wichita Wild midway through the 2012 season. Playing in all seven of the Wild's remaining games last season, Bright tallied 33 total tackles, one and a half sacks and two forced fumbles.
