Defensive End
1967 / 1970
Brevard, NC
Biography
An injury kept Wingard out at the start of the ’68 season, but he returned to serve as a top backup. Served as an alternate captain against North Carolina in 1970 and had a big 21-yard sack of UNC QB John Swofford in the game that resulted in a fumble recovered by teammate Rusty Ganas. A knee injury cost Wingard the last four games of his senior season. He went into teaching and coaching high school football after graduation, serving as an assistant at Whitmire (SC) HS and Columbia (SC) Lower Richland. Wingard became the head man at Richland Northeast in 1990 and won a state title there in 1993 before moving on to Broome High School in Spartanburg in 1998 and coached three seasons there.
