Huskies special-teams grinder with a blue-collar LB edge
Fred Wiggs has long been valued at Washington for hustle, versatility, and special-teams toughness rather than eye-popping box scores. In the 2009 season, he recorded 9 solo tackles for the Huskies, and his earlier UW bio shows he was a steady depth piece who played in 31 games over 2007-2009 with 16 career tackles. The differentiator here is effort: reports describe him as a player who embraces contact, runs down wedges, and takes pride in doing the dirty work. That makes him a fit for teams needing a reliable, high-motor linebacker and special-teams tone-setter.
