“I know this isn’t fair to the kid, but Mekhi Wingo is the high school version of (Los Angeles Rams seven-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle) Aaron Donald. He’s just an outstanding defensive tackle. He’s explosive off the ball and constantly plays in the backfield of the offense.”
Mike Jones
Head Coach head coach at St. Louis University High
