Does he remind you of Dorial Green-Beckham?
Wingo is not like DGB and there is very few that will ever come out of high school like him. DGB was a generational talent that should have been a high 1st Rd Draft pick if not for his immaturity, childhood problems, and legal troubles. Even though he had legal troubles and took a year off from football with his talent he was still picked 40th overall in the draft.
His size, speed, strength, route running, and hands made him one the top high school WR’s of All-Time. After his Senior year he was the 1st WR named national player of the year. His Senior year he had 119 receptions for 2,233 yards with 24 touchdowns. He held the national high school overall record in receiving yards. He was Rivals national player of the year after his Junior year. He was named the Gatorade Missouri Track athlete of the year. He was All-State in basketball and led his team to a State Championship.
He had a rough childhood him and his six siblings were in and out of foster homes. When he got to high school his foster/adopted parents gave him stability and guidance that helped him get through high school. His past family problems and the diagnosis of his younger brothers(Darnell)Leukemia sent him in spiral that he has not recovered from. Darnell was a 3* WR that was committed to Mizzou and could have helped him, but he put off college for a year. Without his family he was lost
Watching him in person was like watching a high school Senior playing against Junior High kids. He looked like a DE playing WR.

DGB could've just as easily been a #1 pick at Edge/WLB. Total freak athlete.
