Temple’s Yamael Wiggins: a big-bodied DE still fighting for snaps
In the 2026 season, Yamael Wiggins is a 6-foot-2, 240-pound redshirt junior defensive end at Temple who brings length, leverage and developmental upside more than proven production. Temple’s roster notes say he transferred in for the 2025 season, earned defensive practice player of the week honors versus Navy and Army, and has academic discipline to match his effort; he previously logged 2.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sack in six games at Stevenson in 2024. The fit? Intriguing depth piece, high-motor worker, but not yet a locked-in impact edge.
