Not to be outdone by their offensive line rebuild, the CU Buffs added an impressive piece to their defensive line on Sunday in LSU transfer Quency Wiggins.
Wiggins was a highly-ranked defensive end in the 2022 recruiting class, checking in as the No. 48 player in the country and the No. 1 overall prospect out of Louisiana, according to 247Sports. Wiggins redshirted in 2022 at LSU before recording three total tackles in sparse playing time this past season, so he will have three seasons of college eligibility remaining.
Listed at 6-foot-6 and 265 pounds, Wiggins brings needed size on the defensive line that should help improve Colorado’s run defense. Wiggins also has tremendous athleticism for his size and position. He has shown the ability to disengage from opposing linemen while also owning the speed to chase down ball carriers. At his size, Wiggins should be able to move around the line, especially in pass-rushing situations, to give opposing offenses a different look.
