Alabama receivers working smoothly with Holmon Wiggins

Shock waves went through Tuscaloosa, Ala., upon Josh Gattis choosing to leave the University of Alabama football program for Michigan, following his one season of coaching the Crimson Tide’s group of wide receivers in 2018.

Despite the productive stats he cultivated, the Tide kept itself in good hands with hiring Holmon Wiggins from Virginia Tech in the offseason. In four seasons with the Hokies (2015-18), Wiggins mentored a two-time 1,000-yard weapon in Isaiah Ford and coached ten 500-yard performers.

Before going to the Atlantic Coast Conference, the product of the University of Mexico spent four years at the University of Memphis with receivers from 2012-15.
