RICHARD SLATER- 3-TIME STATE CHAMPION TX / HEAD COACH ALDINE NIMITZ / ASST COACH KATY HIGH SCHOOL

It is my pleasure to recommend Coach Wiggins, who served on my football staff in Aldine ISD. Among his many responsibilities, he played a crucial role as our recruiting coordinator. 

In this capacity, he worked tirelessly—not only to create college opportunities for our football players but also to secure scholarship opportunities for all student-athletes at our school.

Coach Wiggins has developed a highly effective and well-organized recruitment process. Numerous college coaches visited our school and were consistently impressed by the structured approach he implemented. Rather than simply providing recruiters with a list of names and basic information on paper, Coach Wiggins created an online platform that contained all the essential details a college recruiter might need. 

I was repeatedly told that our school had one of the most efficient and professional recruiting processes they had encountered. 

I have personally witnessed Coach Wiggins' passion for helping young people pursue higher education. Thanks to his dedication and hard work, many of our student-athletes have received athletic scholarships that might not have been available to them otherwise.

I highly recommend Student Athlete International as a valuable resource for any student-athlete looking to further their athletic and educational journey. Coach Wiggins’ expertise and commitment make a significant impact, and I am confident that he will continue to help young athletes achieve their goals.

Sincerely,

Rich Slater

Now, with the NCAA TRANSFER PORTAL it is really difficult for talented high school football players to get recruited their freshman year. As a 4-year letterman, 2-year ALL-DISTRICT performer, and 2- year Offensive MVP, I still did not receive much interest.

Working with SAI was one of the BEST decisions I made in the recruiting process. SAI provided invaluable guidance, personalized support, and connections that helped open doors to college programs. 

They truly cared about my goals as a student-athlete and worked tirelessly to find the perfect fit for both my athletic and academic future. I highly recommend SAI to any athlete looking to take their game to the next level!

Coach Wiggins is the breath of fresh air and contagious encouraging energy that student-athletes and fellow coaches need especially when it comes to bridging the gap to the next level from high school to college with SCHOLARSHIPS! 

He goes ALL OUT for everyone, without ever expecting anything in return, just because he loves to help people - just because he gains tremendous joy witnessing others grab hold of their opportunities to level up! Coach Wig did this countless times at Nimitz High School of Aldine ISD in Houston, Texas where we worked together. 

And it didn't matter which kid nor which sport; everyone received Coach Wig's ultimate effort. Our basketball players were able to benefit just like his football players all because Coach Wig did his thing! I witnessed our lady student-athletes get blessed to level up just like our male student-athletes. He made it possible for each student-athlete that came to him to open doors for the next level and set it up in such a way where student-athletes and college coaches could both say "YES" to each other as they found the perfect fit. 

He helped take out the guess work and eliminated the unknown factors to make it easier for both the student-athlete and the college coach which also made for faster unions. His insight and connections simplify the complexities of the recruiting process. 

Coach Wiggins has helped so many and has a great proven formula that puts successful next level moments on repeat... Investing in Coach Wiggins and Student Athlete International (SAI) is a wise investment, in yourself if you're the student-athlete or your child if you're the parent, that your future self will thank you for later!

 I had the privilege of working alongside Coach Stephen Wiggins at Nimitz High School, where I witnessed firsthand his dedication to helping student-athletes reach their full potential and secure opportunities at the next level. Coach Wiggins is truly invested in his players' futures, going above and beyond to connect them with college programs and guide them through the recruiting process.

His knowledge and passion for the game are unmatched, and his ability to navigate the complexities of recruiting sets him apart. I saw numerous student-athletes earn scholarships under his mentorship, a testament to his expertise and commitment to their success.

On a personal level, the insights I gained from reading his book were instrumental in my own son’s recruitment journey. The strategies and guidance Coach Wiggins shared played a crucial role in helping my son earn an opportunity to play quarterback in college. His knowledge not only helps young athletes but also empowers parents and coaches to better support their players in achieving their dreams.

I highly recommend Coach Wiggins to any athlete, coach, or parent looking to navigate the recruiting process with confidence. His track record speaks for itself, and I am grateful for the impact he has had on so many young lives, including my own son's.

Dear Parent(s) and future student-athlete, 

 
It is with great honor that I have the opportunity to write this recommendation for Student Athlete International and Stephen Wiggins. I can say without any reservations that it will be difficult to find a better service. From 2016 when I met Coach Wiggins to today, he has shown the ability to find schools for future collegiate student-athletes over and over again. 

 
During our years together as football coaches at Aldine Nimitz Senior High School he found schools that offered opportunities for 90% or more of our senior student-athletes. I have coached over 40 years and never have I seen this type of placement of senior student-athletes in school. 

 
It is my professional opinion that if you want a service to help with the recruitment process then Student Athlete International (SAI) is the one. Coach Wiggins and his staff do an outstanding job of lowering the stress of the recruitment process. 

 
Join the many parents and student athletes who have experienced the success of Student Athlete International (SAI). 

Sincerely, 

David Suggs, Retired Educator and Athletic Administrator  

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Coach Stephen Wiggins at Nimitz High School in Aldine ISD. I have a lot of respect for Coach Wiggins and his will to help our student/athletes reach the next level of education. 

 
Coach Wiggins provided a lot of help to our student/athletes, promoting college opportunities for them. I witnessed him getting scholarships for our student/athletes. I particularly valued the effort and dedication which demonstrated his genuine commitment to our student/athletes.

 
Since my fellow teachers, coaches and I will always hold Coach Wiggins in the highest esteem, I sincerely recommend Coach Stephen Wiggins as the ideal candidate to help student/athletes reach their academic goals and get scholarships.

 
Sincerely, Salvador Fernandez

Coach Wiggins and myself worked together at Nimitz high School in Aldine ISD as football coaches where we coached all levels from freshmen through seniors.

I observed for over a year where Stephen Wiggins worked with all athletes above and beyond the call of duty on everything from coaching individuals, groups, & teams for football, weight training, drills, and running. 

More importantly, Stephen also worked with these same athletes on their academics to prepare them for college and promote them to get scholarships into colleges/universities to play sports.

Coach Wiggins' passion for helping individuals get scholarships is something I had never experienced before in my 33 years of coaching. If an athlete wants to play sports at the next level, he doesn’t stop in finding them a place to continue their education. 

His impact on these young men goes beyond getting them these opportunities, it becomes a life changing experience for their future.

I am thankful for working with Stephen Wiggins and his willingness to help athletes who most likely would not have an opportunity. He Coaches to Change Lives.

Respectfully,

JD Jordan

I have followed SAI since it’s inception from the Mind of Mr. Stephen Wiggins. I fully understood it’s concept from its foundation. 

This service is phenomenal. It successfully addresses the needs of the Athlete to the precise needs of the university. 

This why SAI has a 100%. success rate in finding college opportunities for its clients!

SAI's Team are all former pro athletes AND college graduates. The Founder of the Organization, Mr Wiggins played in both the NFL and the CFL Leagues. He understands the drive and the dedication it takes to be a  successful  athlete. He also has a degree in Mathematics and worked at NASA for fifteen years following his football career. 

SAI's Genius is that it melds the Intelligent (grade-worthy) high character student athlete with the perfect athletic and academic program.  This allows the athlete to focus on a degree of his desire while playing the sport that he loves. 

I personally have witnessed SAI research available opportunities within Ivy League Schools and Identify the athlete to fill the Slot to Match the School's needs. 

However, I have also watched the Exact Opposite. Where the Modular Exercise that SAI has in place identifies the perfect Athlete for the School. The School did not even know they were looking for this Person. 

All in all the tireless efforts of SAI has changed the lives of young men and women across the nation. SAI has placed athletes in college programs who believed that their athletic days were over. And found Ivy League schools for athletes who have earned their place academically.  "SAI WORKS!"

I’m truly honored to write this letter of recommendation for Stephen Wiggins. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Coach Wiggins at Nimitz High School, and I can say without a doubt that his passion for helping student-athletes reach their dreams is unmatched. He’s not just a coach—he’s a mentor, a leader, and someone who genuinely cares about the futures of the young athletes he works with.

 
Coach Wiggins and his organization, SAI, have an incredible ability to guide students through the complicated recruitment process, connecting them with scholarship opportunities and ensuring they’re prepared both academically and athletically for college. His relationships with students, parents, and college recruiters have been instrumental in helping countless athletes secure opportunities that might have otherwise been out of reach.

 
But what truly sets Coach Wiggins apart is his heart.  His organization, SAI goes beyond just helping students find scholarships—they invest in their personal growth, always making sure they feel supported and motivated to be their best selves. His leadership and commitment have made a lasting impact on our team and our school.

 
Even now, I still reach out to Coach Wiggins for guidance, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to take their athletic career to the next level. His dedication and expertise have changed so many lives, and I know he will continue to make a difference wherever he goes.

Sincerely, Alonzo Barber World Geography / Football Coach Conroe High School 

While working as an assistant coach at Pickering High School, Coach Wiggins, through his organization, SAI, worked diligently over a 3 year period to secure collegiate opportunities for at least 15 of our student athletes.  That was unprecedented in a small, rural school!  

These students would have never had this opportunity had it not been for his care and dedication to the students.  I highly recommend Coach Wiggins and his services.

SAI is the real thing! Stephen Wiggins (“Wig”) is a “certified genius” when it comes to recruiting. I have known and worked with “Wig” for over 10 years now. One thing that I know for sure is that Coach cares about student/athletes. 

SAI does an excellent job of getting student/athletes to gather the information that they need to be recruited. In working with coach, I have seen personally dozens and dozens of athletes find a place to play. 

SAI is one of the best investments that a parent/guardian could make. They walk you through process and make it much simpler than it would be trying to do it yourself. 

SAI is the right decision to make for your student/athlete. “Wig” and SAI continue to do the right thing with fidelity. SAI is a cannot miss!

Thank you for time and attention,

Testimonial for Coach Wiggins and his organization, Student Athlete International-SAI...

I am honored to share my heartfelt appreciation for Coach Wiggins, whose dedication and commitment to student-athletes have made a lasting impact both on and off the field. 

Coach Wiggins is more than just a coach—he is a mentor, a motivator, and a role model who consistently goes above and beyond to help students achieve their full potential.

His organization, SAI, provides tireless effort and unwavering support, in helping numerous student athletes earn college scholarships, opening doors to opportunities that may have once seemed out of reach.   It was NO SURPRISE to learn that SAI has a 100% success rate in getting their clients college opportunities!

His ability to recognize talent, cultivate discipline, and instill confidence in his players has transformed lives. Beyond athletic development, he teaches perseverance, character, and the value of hard work—qualities that extend far beyond the game.

My time with him at Nimitz High School in Houston, Tx, I witnessed firsthand him nurture and mold students and help build great young men and women. The impact of his leadership is evident not only in the scholarships his players receive but in the way they carry themselves as students, athletes, and future leaders.

Our school and community was incredibly fortunate to have such an inspiring and selfless individual leading our student-athletes. Thank you, Coach Wiggins, and SAI for your dedication, passion, and belief in the potential of every player you coach. The legacy you are building is one that will be remembered for years to come.

It is with great privilege that I write to you in recommendation for Stephen Wiggins and his organization, Student Athlete International-SAI. 

I have been Stephen’s co-worker and one of his former student athletes at Prairie View A & M University. 

In my twenty-plus years of coaching, he has been one of my most dedicated and passionate supporters, especially in the area of helping HIGH CHARACTER student athletes get college opportunities.

During his time here with me, he and SAI set an unprecedented record in assisting student athletes in moving on unto the next level.  Stephen has also become a close friend to many of us that have gotten a chance to work him and watch him develop and prepare HIGH CHARACTER young men and women student athletes. 

Stephen is not only gifted in his uncanny ability to foresee growth opportunities, he is also a role model for his clients in SAI.  

I highly recommend Stephen Wiggins and SAI if you want your HIGH CHARACTER student-athlete an opportunity to get  college opportunities.

Coach Wiggins played a pivotal role in my time at Aldine Nimitz, dedicating himself to helping athletes reach the next level. 

From scholarship applications to camp opportunities, he ensured kids had the best chance for success. 

His work continues to make a significant impact in the recruiting world.

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation  and to highly recommend Stephen Wiggins and Student Athlete International. I have been a high school coach for almost 40 years. In that time I have dealt with several recruiting services but none have shown the professionalism, expertise and dedication of SAI. Coach Wiggins and SAIhave made the difference in several of my athlete’s recruiting journey. They worked tirelessly to the perfect fit for our guys.

From the beginning of the process SAI took the time to understand the athlete’s goals and aspirations. They provided guidance, from creating a recruiting profile and highlight video to contacting coaches and making sure the kids know what to expect throughout the entire process. They have a deep and working knowledge of the recruiting landscape and process.

 I have full confidence in SAI and I HIGHLY recommend SAI to any athlete and family in need of professional recruiting service. Their dedication and professionalism will make the recruiting journey much smoother and more enjoyable.

Sincerely,

James Coleman
