BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko announced the promotion of Holmon Wiggins to offensive coordinator.
Wiggins brings more than 20 years of coaching experience to the role, including the past two seasons (2024-25) as Texas A&M's co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach. Prior to his time in College Station, he spent five seasons (2019-23) on staff at the University of Alabama under College Football Hall of Fame head coach Nick Saban, serving the final three years as assistant head coach of the offense.
In his second season with the Aggies, Wiggins has helped guide one of the nation's most explosive offenses as Texas A&M's receiving corps is averaging 14.1 yards per catch to rank 11th nationally. He played a key role in the acquisition of KC Concepcion and Mario Craver via the transfer portal, coaching both to All-SEC honors in their first season with the program. The duo is one of six receiver tandems nationally with 800-plus receiving yards apiece and one of only three pairs averaging more than 15.0 yards per catch (minimum 50 receptions each). Together, they are averaging 148.8 receiving yards per game in 2025.
Concepcion, the 2025 Paul Hornung Award recipient for college football's most versatile player, leads the Aggies with 57 receptions for 886 yards and an SEC-best nine receiving touchdowns. Craver follows with 52 receptions for 825 yards and four scores. Wiggins has also overseen the development of redshirt freshman Ashton Bethel-Roman, who ranks third on the team with 459 receiving yards on 20 catches (team-best 23.0 average) and five touchdowns.
During his first season in Aggieland, Wiggins helped Texas A&M improve from 47th nationally in red zone offense to 17th (.906). The Aggies also saw gains in third-down conversion percentage under his guidance.
Wiggins joined Elko's staff in 2024 following his tenure at Alabama, where he served as wide receivers coach from 2019-20 before being elevated to assistant head coach of offense and wide receivers coach from 2021-23. While in Tuscaloosa, he coached Heisman Trophy and Biletnikoff Award winner DeVonta Smith during his historic 2020 campaign. Wiggins also helped develop five first-round NFL Draft selections in Jaylen Waddle (No. 6 overall), Smith (No. 10), Henry Ruggs III (No. 12), Jameson Williams (No. 12) and Jerry Jeudy (No. 15).
In his final season at Alabama, Wiggins mentored Jermaine Burton to a career-best year with 798 receiving yards on 39 catches and eight touchdowns. He also ranked sixth nationally and led the SEC with a 20.5 yards-per-catch average. In 2021, he coached Jameson Williams and John Metchie III to 1,000-yard receiving seasons, marking just the second time in program history a wide receiver duo reached the milestone in the same year. Williams was a Biletnikoff finalist and First Team All-American after totaling 1,572 yards and 15 touchdowns, while Metchie led the team with 96 receptions for 1,142 yards and eight scores.
Smith's Heisman-winning 2020 season also included the Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year and Paul Hornung Award honors after he hauled in 117 receptions for 1,856 yards and 23 touchdowns. He set SEC single-season records for receiving yards and touchdowns and finished his career holding conference records for receptions (235), yards (3,965) and touchdowns (46).
Wiggins coached two 1,000-yard receivers in 2019 (Smith and Jeudy), the first such duo in Crimson Tide history.
Prior to Alabama, Wiggins spent three seasons (2016-18) as wide receivers coach at Virginia Tech University under Justin Fuente. He helped develop Cam Phillips, the Hokies' career leader in receptions and receiving yards. Phillips earned First Team All-ACC honors in 2017 after posting 71 catches for 964 yards and seven touchdowns. Wiggins was also part of a staff that set 10 single-season offensive records at Virginia Tech in 2016.
From 2012-15, Wiggins served as wide receivers coach at the University of Memphis, helping the Tigers to 26 wins, including back-to-back bowl appearances his final two seasons. Memphis receivers steadily improved each year under his guidance, culminating in 255 receptions for 3,277 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2015.
Wiggins joined the Memphis staff after a one-year stint as running backs coach at the University of Tulsa in 2011, where the Golden Hurricane rushed for 2,006 yards.
Prior to Tulsa, he spent five seasons (2006-10) coaching running backs at Illinois State University, helping the Redbirds reach the FCS quarterfinals in his first season. In 2006, Pierre Rembert earned All-America honors after rushing for a school-record 1,743 yards.
Wiggins began his coaching career at his alma mater, the University of New Mexico, serving as a student assistant (2003-04) before shifting into a graduate assistant role in 2005.
A four-year letterwinner and three-year starter at running back from 1998-2001, he finished his playing career with 1,833 rushing yards while setting single-season school records for punt returns and punt return yards.
