Jaden Wiggins brings compact interior power to Southern’s defensive front
In the 2026 season, Southern lists Jaden Wiggins as a 6-foot, 280-pound redshirt junior defensive tackle, and that frame usually signals a plug-the-gap, eat-space kind of interior lineman[2][5]. He does not jump off the page as a stat sheet monster, but that is often the point with a DT: the value is leverage, gap control, and freeing teammates to make plays, while his roster status and size suggest a dependable rotational fit with SEC-style physicality in SWAC football[1][2][12].
