 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

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 

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

Crockett ISD Athletic Director/HD FB Coach

On graduation day, when they asked the students of our class who acquired a scholarship to stand up, it was a showcase of the time and  

Coach Wiggins’ dedication to the future of his athletes.  His successful execution and commitment to excellence to student athletes is undeniable. 

Not only was he effectively coaching our defense, he was there for us when it came to obtaining scholarships. It was because of Coach that many of us were able to play a second level of football. 

Whether it was for our skill on the field, or our intellect in the classroom, Coach Wiggins paved the way for us to secure athletic and academic scholarships. I can confidently say that Coach Wiggins made college ball a reality for many Nimitz athletes. Without the exposure, networking, and his facilitation of aid, the next level may not have been possible.

I praise the work our coach put into our program. I still thank him today for his impact.

All the Best,

Sam Mallet, Student Athlete

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all the support you have provided me during my college application process and scholarship search. Your guidance and encouragement have meant more to me than I can fully express. 

Throughout the entire process, your advice and insights helped me stay focused and motivated. You not only provided me with valuable information about scholarship opportunities but also gave me the confidence to pursue my goals, both academically and athletically. 

Your belief in my abilities, both on and off the field, gave me the strength to keep pushing forward during times of doubt. Additionally, the connections you’ve shared with college coaches and programs have been invaluable. 

I truly appreciate the time you spent writing recommendations, reaching out on my behalf, and offering feedback on my applications. Your mentorship has opened doors that I might not have had access to otherwise, and I am incredibly grateful for that. 

Once again, thank you for all your help and guidance. 

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had you as a coach and mentor throughout this journey. 

Sincerely, 

Devin Contreras , Student Athlete

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,

During my time at Nimitz High School, I achieved some significant milestones. I was named Second-Team All-District as a junior and earned First-Team All-District honors as a senior. Despite my performance, I struggled to get noticed by colleges. As a 5'10" defensive lineman, it was challenging to gain exposure since many coaches prioritize size over ability. 

However, Coach Wiggins didn’t see it that way. He and his organization were committed to finding opportunities for every one of their players. At the end of my senior season, I had only one or two offers. But after working with Coach Wiggins, that number quickly grew. 

One offer turned into three, three into six, and before I graduated, I had received thirteen offers. Student Athlete International is an incredible organization that has helped me and many other young athletes pursue our dreams—not just of playing at the next level, but also of finding the right fit. 

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities Coach Wiggins and his organization provided me, and I hope other athletes get the same chance to succeed. 

Sincerely,

Elijah Sims

 I am honored to be able to testify on behalf of Mr. Wiggins. A little info about myself my name is Martin I’m currently a Sergeant in the U.S. Army and have been serving for 5 years. I’ve known Mr. Wiggins since 2017 he was a football coach for Nimitz High School in Houston, TX. Mr. Wiggins is a great leader and mentor for young men and women who strive to be great in whatever they want to pursue.

I have friends who connected with Mr. Wiggins during his time at Nimitz. He helped many players not only get into school but was able to guide them in the direction of gaining scholarships. Mr. Wiggins helped a player in my graduation class get into the University of Northern Iowa and is currently declared in the 2025 NFL draft. 

Not only does he help with getting men and women into college programs he personally helped me join the military. When I told Mr. Wiggins this idea I had he was very supportive and was able to connect me with someone he knew in regards to the military and helped guide me through the process so I wasn’t going in blind.

This is just one of many situations in which Mr. Wiggins has been able to provide guidance and opportunity to young men and women. He is a great leader and mentor and as a great leader, he will put whoever is in need in the best position to succeed and thrive. 

The only thing he will ask of you is to give him the opportunity and once you get that achievement don’t mess it up. Thank you for letting me speak on his behalf and I know he will take great care of whoever he helps in the future just like how he helped me and my friends in the past.

Sincerely,

Martin Mears, Sergeant US Army

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 has 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. He goes beyond just helping students find scholarships—he invests 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.

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.  

Josh Thomas, Co- Offensive Coordinator, Summer Creek HS 

It is with great privilege that I write to you in recommendation for Stephen Wiggins. I have been Stephen’s co-worker and one of his former athletes at The Prairie View A & M University, where he has worked hard to be the best coach he could possibly be. 

I have found him to be a pleasant, generous person who is never afraid to take on a challenging task. In twenty years of Coaching, he has been one of my most dedicated and passionate person. Stephen is an independent, self-directed person who can communicate effectively and meet even the most demanding challenges. 

During his four years here with me, he set an unprecedented record in assisting student athletes in moving on unto the next level. While his on the field performance has been nothing less than stellar, 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 great young man. 

Stephen is not only gifted in his uncanny ability to foresee growth opportunities, he would also be an asset to any corporation as a role model for other to follow. I highly recommend Stephen Wiggins for selection, if you want your student-athlete on opportunity to get a scholarship offer. 

Best Regards,

“To dream big is a matter of choice. To reach those dreams is a matter of discipline.”

I have known Mr. Stephen Wiggins for many years.  Mr. Wiggins is the most professional educator/coach I have ever known.  He was always totally devoted to the job and to the students.  

If I owned or ran a large corporation of any type, Steven would be my first hire.  I consider him to be the ultimate professional and honored to be called his friend. I would trust Steven with my family.  As a coach and teacher Mr. Wiggins was beyond reproach.  

I can only hope I was as good an educator as he is, and I was a coach for 50 years.   

Phillip Ray.  Coach/Educator and Teacher 

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.

Through tireless effort and unwavering support, Coach Wiggins has played an instrumental role in helping numerous athletes earn college scholarships, opening doors to opportunities that may have once seemed out of reach. 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, 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.

Former Assistant Principal – Aldine ISD Nimitz High School

 I’m currently coach in Houston, Texas.  I’ve also coached in Alief ISD, Houston ISD, Spring ISD, along with Hillsborough County ISD in Tampa, Florida. 

I have been blessed with watching young men leave high school and continue to pursue their dreams of playing football at the “next level”. Having coached over 100 Division 1 football players, 100+ Division II, and a tremendous amount of DIII, Junior College, and Community College student athletes, I can only say that I’ve pretty much seen it all in the recruiting world.

The  services offered at, SAI are, by far, the most comprehensive and productive use of extended assistance with recruitment. 

Your services have offered these young men and women, who wish to continue to participate and grow on the next level academically and athletically, an opportunity to do so. 

I am a supreme supporter of SAI simply because they get results!  There are a ton of recruiting services out there that are only in it for the money & fluff of making it seem like these athletes are going to be recruited and qualified for the next level, but are unable to produce results. 

Parents please listen to me,   The future of your child is worth more than an excuse! SAI's personnel and staff are former pro and college athletes, alumni, coaches and recruiting experts that have been there, done that, and will continue to give the best information and directions to the families of student athletes who can get lost in this recruiting process. Results matter!!!

I wish you continued success SAI and will always utilize your expertise and professionalism in making young people’s dreams come true!

I cannot say enough good things about SAI This program was a blessing to our family. My daughter won 9 Texas state high school state track and field titles and had a 4.0 GPA, yet was not getting recruited! I did not know where to turn.  No one seemed willing or able to help us.  

Then, SAI stepped in and the offers began pouring in.   I think she received at least 50 offers from various schools. SAI also organized the maximum OFFICIAL visits for her as well as the FULL SCHOLARSHIP offers on her behalf.  Unbeknownst to me at the time, most track and field offers are not FULL SCHOLARSHIPS.  These offers included Ivy League schools and top universities all over the country.  

Not only did my daughter go to college, she ran track for her DREAM SCHOOL...the University of Florida.  In her time there, my daughter experienced 

• winning the SEC team Championship
• winning the SEC in her event 
• becoming a two-time All American
• running in the NCAA Championships Finals
• competing against some of the best competition in the world
• traveling all over the country,  and 
• graduating Cum Laude, with her Masters degree from Gator Nation, at the age of 22!  

None of this would have been possible without SAI. 

Any parent or student athlete thinking about using any other service, please look no further than SAI. The owner, Stephen Wiggins is an awesome person, and they do GREAT work for their clients!  "SAI WORKS!"

I was a just a regular student in Coach Wiggins' class.  When he found out I wasn't getting recruited, he and his team at SAI began to help me.  I got to work with a former world-class runner, SAI's Jeff Williams, and ultimately working with SAI got me to LA Tech University.   I am now competing in college and living my dream!  

Yes, "SAI WORKS!"

 "Once SAI got involved the phone didn’t stop ringing with excellent programs and coaches offering tremendous opportunities all over the country. I highly recommend SAI for anyone wanting the best guidance in the recruiting process. It definitely worked for us."   ”SAI WORKS!"

SAI  provides a bridge between student athletes and colleges, along the way parents and students are educated on the recruiting process. Coach Wiggins personally goes above and beyond to help families get it done. I would trust SAI to help my student athlete to attain an athletic scholarship.  "SAI WORKS!"

 SAI is a fantastic Non-profit Organization that provides an invaluable service to our community by getting deserving student athletes recruited to some of the best colleges and universities in the country.

SAI does more than just recruitment assistance it develops both the intellectual and physical talent of all it's student athletes thus preparing them for college and life.

Please contact SAI as soon as possible and you will be glad you did.  It was one of best decisions I ever made.  "Yes, "SAI WORKS!"

What an amazing service SAI provides to it's clients. 

SAI has a proven track record for connecting Students with Scholarships, and has been doing so successfully for years. 

SAI is a "Diamond in the Rough" for Colleges & Universities, and a true Godsend to it's clients. 

It is truly wonderful how SAI bridges the gap between High School & College, allowing it's clients the opportunity to reach their full potential, and beyond.

Too bad SAI was not an option when I graduated High School, who knows what heights I would have reached.   "SAI WORKS" !

I’ve known SAI Founder, Steve Wiggins for over 30 years starting with our days in college, our work at NASA, and subsequent training in the martial arts.  Steve has always been a leader and motivator.  At NASA ,  he sought to insure that contract engineers received training that their associated companies did not provide.  

Additionally, Steve was "un-equalled"  in making sure I finished my training in 

martial arts and he was there at the end when I received my black belt.  

So it was no surprise to learn that he was going tackle the job of placing deserving but unexposed student athletes in colleges and universities.  Education and athletics has always been his passion.  SAI is simply an extension of who this man is. 

In the time when the common saying was “pull yourself up by your boot straps”, Steve helped several with just that.   To sum it up, I have had a court-side seat to watch the growth of SAI from concept to conception to REALITY...and seeing 100's of kids get to and GRADUATE college!  A lot of these kids would not have had the opportunity to go to college without Mr. Wiggins and SAI.

Any student athlete or parent reading this should contact SAI and Mr. Wiggins at once.  Steve is a straight-shooter, a look-you-in-the-eye, and shake your hand-type of person and he does business the same way.  You will not regret working with SAI and Mr. Wiggins. "SAI WORKS"!

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. SAI's Team are all Athletes, 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) 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 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!"

“This is a legit service! SAI is about giving student athletes the opportunity to further their education and play college sports. I recommend this service to all families looking for support to help their son or daughter further their education!!! "SAI WORKS!"

I have personally witnessed SAI take student/athletes, with no sports options/ opportunities, and create multiple choices for these same student/athletes. It is one of the greatest things a person could ever see in life, when a young student/athlete is afforded a future.  SAI is a wonderful organization dedicated to making dreams to happen.  "SAI WORKS!"

Coach Wiggins, through SAI, helps provide students and families with not only the opportunity to go to college, but also the means to do so. I have seen some students who weren’t able to afford college on their own, be helped by Coach Wiggins, and find a way to pay for it through scholarship. This service helps to change the lives of students and help them better themselves at the next level, academically.  SAI, under the guidance of Coach Wiggins,  betters and changes lives.  "SAI WORKS!"

As a high school teacher and coach of 30+ years, I have seen too many student-athletes fall through the cracks in the recruitment process. The steps seem overwhelming; coaches are pulled in many directions and parents don’t know where to begin.  SAI offers help.   Coach Wiggins and his team are life lines for success. "SAI WORKS!"

It is with great honor I have the opportunity to give my professional and personal opinion about the recruiting service run by Stephen Wiggins. I have never seen a service be able to place student-athletes in quality schools like his. He seems to know the perfect match for the university and student-athlete. I refuse to use another service for my student-athletes. "SAI WORKS!"

I believe is an organization that is much needed for the kids and so appreciated by the families. A non profit  organization that helps so many students who are overlooked and pushed aside. Not everyone has the resources or opportunities to get scholarships. SAI  helps to assist and guide our kids in not only getting a quality education but also a chance to follow their dreams. SAI is a group of hard-working people working hard to make that happen.  "SAI WORKS!"          

Coach Wiggins and SAI helped me and my mom navigate the recruiting process, ultimately getting me to my dream school UHMB.  "SAI WORKS!"

I wasn't getting any offers until SAI and Coach Wiggins stepped in.  After they got involved, I started hearing from schools all over the country.  "SAI WORKS!"

Coach Wiggins and SAI really made it happen for me.    "SAI WORKS!"

SAI really helped me out when no one else could or would.  I am currently in college, I had a great football season, and I can't wait for next year.  "SAI WORKS!"

Working with Coach Wiggins and SAI was an eye-opener.  I really enjoyed helping our players get to the next level.  Yes,..."SAI WORKS!"
