Johnnie Harris has landed her first commitment as a head coach, a transfer guard from a familiar place in Harris’ coaching career.
Xaria Wiggins announced that she was transferring to Auburn from Mississippi State on Friday via a post on her Twitter.
Wiggins will reunite with Harris, who was an associate coach at Mississippi State from 2012-2020.
Hailing from Virginia Beach, Virginia, Wiggins was ranked as the No. 54 high school prospect in her class by ESPN.
In the summer of 2019, Wiggins was a part of the USA Team that won a silver medal at the World University Games. She scored in double figures in five out of the seven contests in the event, ranking third on the team in scoring.
At Mississippi State, the 6-foot-1 guard played mostly off the bench, starting four games in her three years with the Bulldogs.
She was limited this past season due to injury, only appearing in 11 games before entering the transfer portal after her junior year.
Wiggins played an average of 12.1 minutes per game during her three years as a Bulldog, averaging 3.4 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game.
