As Nick Saban continues to fill gaps on a coaching staff with a good amount of turnover this offseason, the latest addition in Tuscaloosa is Holmon Wiggins. Wiggins is leaving Virginia Tech as receivers coach to fill the same role on the Alabama staff.
News of the departure for Wiggins was confirmed with a statement from Virginia Tech with a statement from Hokies head coach Justin Fuente released on Twitter.
“On behalf of our entire coaching staff, we appreciate the contributions that Holmon Wiggins has made to our program at Virginia Tech,” Fuente said. “We congratulate Coach Wiggins on taking the next step in his coaching journey. We wish he, Dominique and their wonderful family all the best at Alabama.”
Wiggins will fill the role previously held by Josh Gattis at Alabama. Gattis left his role as receivers coach for the Crimson Tide to become the new offensive coordinator at Michigan.
