  As a kid, Kaylan Wiggins would play tackle football in the street, without pads. "We didn't play two-hand touch," said Wiggins, who is from Sanford, located 20 miles northeast of Orlando. "You had to be tough. "If you saw you were going to get hit, you did your best to get to the grass, near the sidewalk. "Playing on the street is where I learned to make people miss because the consequences of getting hit were felt a lot more than in regular football." Those lessons from Sanford have helped shape Wiggins into, potentially, FIU's next standout quarterback. FIU's two previous starters at the position were Alex McGough, a 2018 seven-round pick who is a backup/practice-squad player for the Houston Texans; and James Morgan, who was drafted in the fourth round by the New York Jets last month.

For perspective, the Hurricanes haven't had a quarterback drafted since Brad Kaaya (sixth round, 2017). FIU, meanwhile, has had two straight starting QBs drafted, and Wiggins hopes he's next. Wiggins showed what he could do when he earned what is - so far - his only collegiate start, a 30-17 win over New Hampshire on Sept. 14. Using the make-you-miss skills he learned on the streets of Sanford, Wiggins ran for 187 yards - a school record for a quarterback - and two touchdowns. He also completed 12-of-18 passes for 127 yards, giving FIU its first win of the 2019 season. - Miami Herald
