“He never wanted to do anything if it didn’t make someone else happy,” said first-year Godby head coach Brandon McCray, who was Wiggins’ o-line coach fore two years, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. “He was always there for his friends. He would do anything for his linemen. He loved football, but even he did that because it made his friends happy.”

Wiggins’ mother Althea Jones died in 2017, and McCray’s mother, Katherine Pondexter, took Wiggins in. McCray spent late Monday night consoling his mother and grieving his own loss of a former player.

“That was like my adopted son,” McCray said. “I coached with him for two years and against all his brothers for years. I’m still in shock. I don’t know what to think. I’ve still got a lot of his stuff here at my house. I’m just trying to be here for my mom and all our players.”
