Jalen Wiggins loves to compare his game to former Florida State star and NFL first-round draft pick Jared Verse. "I love studying his film, and I model how I play to what I see," Wiggins said. "Being more like a (Jared) Verse kind of guy. I feel like that's a really good way to play. Straight down the line, go to get the ball and get the quarterback. I feel like that's a great way to play the game." Wiggins racked up 97 tackles, 31 tackles for a loss and 37 quarterback hurries during his junior season in high school. He also played baseball and basketball – he hit .482 as a sophomore.
