Football

Ryan Wingo is the youngest in the successful Wingo family from St. Louis. In the Class of 2009, Ronnie Wingo Jr. was one of the nation’s most coveted athletes. Wingo had a solid career with Arkansas, rushing for more than 1,090 yards. He played pro football with the Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Then in the 2014 class, Raymond Wingo was a four-star defensive back that played at Missouri. Next in line is Ryan, and many believe little brother has the biggest upside. “Ronnie was tremendous, and Ray had big potential, too. But Ryan is special,” a veteran B1G coach told On3. SLUH recruiting coordinator Adam Cruz played with Ronnie in high school. He said it’s impossible to compare the siblings. All Cruz knows is that Ryan is one of a kind. “On the football field, he can do whatever he wants,” Cruz said. “His receiving numbers and skills speak for themselves. He threw a 75-yard touchdown pass (as a sophomore). Ryan took three back in the return game. He was our punter and was named all-conference at receiver and punter. He was also top five in the area in net punting average. There were so many times this past year he would just do something, and I’d be like, ‘Man, you are incredible,’ and he’d just laugh.”
