Pros & Cons
Pros: Higgins is incredibly fast, both in a line and making cuts. Despite his small frame, he’s aggressive on the ball and his vertical leap is impressive. At only 21, he should be able to add size to his frame.
Cons: After a consensus All-American campaign as a sophomore, Higgins experienced the unusual “junior slump.” Was it because of the departure of coach Jim McElwain and quarterback Garrett Grayson? Or did the accolades go to “Hollywood’s” head?
