WIGENTON ON MICHIGAN STATE:
“Michigan State was the best opportunity for me and my family. There’s nothing better than playing in the Big Ten and competing for the conference championship. I have a great relationship with Coach Tucker and Coach Kap; I am excited to get to East Lansing.”
COACH TUCKER ON WIGENTON:
"Kevin is probably one of the most improved players from his junior to senior year, he really worked this summer to get his body right so he could play with more athletic ability and flexibility, he’s played both guard and tackle this fall, which shows he can be a factor on the second level. He’s got good seek-and-adjust on his pulls, and runs his feet upon contact. He has a very stout anchor to stop the push of the pocket and has very athletic feet to slide and adjust in pass protection. He is smart, plays with good instincts and plays to the whistle."
One of Jersey’s finest, welcome to the family @kevinwigenton71 👏#21BuiltStrong | #GoGreen pic.twitter.com/VnRwn5AZ2Z
