Holmon Wiggins joined head coach Mike Elko’s staff in January 2024 as the co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach. Wiggins came to Aggieland after five seasons at Alabama as the wide receivers coach, including three seasons as the assistant head coach of offense.

In his first season at Texas A&M, Wiggins helped guide the Aggies to an 8-5 record, including a program-best 5-0 start to SEC play, and an appearance in the Las Vegas Bowl in 2024.

During his time in Tuscaloosa, Wiggins produced a Heisman Trophy and Biletnikoff Award winner in DeVonta Smith in 2020. He also developed five first round NFL Draft picks, including Jaylen Waddle (No. 6 overall), DeVonta Smith (No. 10), Henry Ruggs III (No. 12), Jameson Williams (No. 12) and Jerry Jeudy (No. 15).

In 2023, Wiggins coached Jermaine Burton to a career-best season as the senior racked up 798 yards receiving on 39 catches for eight touchdowns, while ranking sixth in the nation and leading the SEC averaging 20.5 yards per reception. Wiggins tutored Jameson Williams and John Metchie III to 1,000-plus yard receiving seasons in 2021, marking the second time in Alabama history a wide receiver duo eclipsed 1,000 yards in the same season. Williams finished the campaign as a Biletnikoff finalist and First Team All-American after catching 79 passes for 1,572 yards and 15 touchdowns. Metchie led the team with 96 receptions for 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns.

Wiggins mentored Smith in 2020 to arguably the best season by a wide receiver in college football history on his way to winning the Heisman, as well as the Biletnikoff Award, Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year and the Paul Hornung Award. He caught 117 passes for 1,856 yards and 23 touchdowns, setting SEC marks for yards and receiving touchdowns in a season, while finishing his career with the SEC records for receptions (235), yards (3,965) and touchdowns (46).

He made an immediate impact in his first season in Tuscaloosa in 2019 producing two 1,000-plus yard receivers in the same season for the first time in Alabama history. Smith turned in an impressive year with 68 receptions for a team-best 1,256 yards and 14 touchdowns, while Jeudy led the team in receptions with 77 while recording 1,163 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.

Prior to his time at Alabama, Wiggins spent three years (2015-18) coaching wide receivers at Virginia Tech. He oversaw the development of Cam Phillips, who established himself as Virginia Tech’s career leader in receptions and receiving yards. Phillips caught 71 passes for 964 yards and a career-best seven touchdowns to earn first-team All-ACC honors in 2017 and earned a spot on the Buffalo Bills roster in 2018.

Wiggins was part of a staff that helped guide Virginia Tech's offense to 10 single-season records during their first year in 2016, including: points (490), passing first downs (172), touchdown passes (31), total offense (6,223), completion percentage (62.1 percent), passing yards (3,660) and pass completions (279).

He helped continue the ascent of Isaiah Ford, who broke his own Virginia Tech single-season record with 79 receptions in 2016, registering 1,094 yards and seven touchdowns in the process. Phillips earned Belk Bowl MVP honors in 2016, concluded his junior campaign by setting personal bests in receptions (76) and receiving yards (983).

Wiggins time in Tuscaloosa was preceded by four seasons at Memphis where he was an integral component of Justin Fuente's staff that helped lead Memphis to 19 victories and back-to-back bowl appearances in 2014-15. Memphis receivers registered 148 receptions, 1,687 yards and four touchdowns in 2013 and upped that total to 205 receptions for 2,422 yards and 14 scores in 2014 before hauling in 255 passes for 3,277 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2015.

He drastically improved the production of the wide receiver corps at Memphis when he arrived in 2012, with the unit accounting for 125 receptions and 1,417 yards. The Tigers registered 53 receiving touchdowns in 2014-15, compared to only 24 in the two seasons before Wiggins' arrival.

Wiggins joined the Memphis program after one-year coaching the running backs at Tulsa in 2011. The UT running backs combined for 2,006 rushing yards, while H-Back Willie Carter led Tulsa with 868 receiving yards that season, meriting a spot on the All-Conference USA Second Team.

Prior to Tulsa, Wiggins enjoyed a five-year stint coaching running backs at Illinois State from 2006-10, helping guide the Redbirds to the FCS quarterfinals in his initial season on the staff. Under his tutelage in 2006, running back Pierre Rembert earned All-America accolades and rushed for a school record 1,743 yards. From 2006-08, Illinois State averaged 187.7 rushing yards per game and racked up 76 rushing scores.

Wiggins began his coaching career at his alma mater New Mexico after an outstanding playing career with the Lobos. He was a three-year starter at running back, finishing his career with 1,833 yards while setting the Lobos' single-season record for punt returns (46) and punt return yards (392). He is a 2003 graduate of the University of New Mexico.

Wiggins and his wife Dominique have four daughters, Justyce, Karyn, Brooklyn and Journye, and two sons, Kingston and Legend.
