Quency Wiggins is a force to be reckoned with on the Madison Prep defense. The 6’7”, 265-pound, behemoth destroys opposing offensive lines imposing his will in the backfield and makes tackles sideline to sideline. This three-star prospect has tremendous size and strength while also possessing good hands and footwork despite this being his first season on the gridiron.
Colleges have already started responding to this Class of 2022 recruit with seven offers extending coming from teams like Mississippi State and Ole Miss while also currently drawing interest from Texas and LSU. Not only is Wiggins a leader on the football field but also on the basketball court and in the classroom where he holds a 3.5 GPA.
In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I caught up with Quency to talk about his junior season and get an update on his recruiting process.
