STM Take
Tier 8 (#65) in 2023 to tier 4 (#25) breakout in 2025 as a 2019 UDFA puts Wingard in the rare outlier-positive late-bloomer S class. The Wyoming Mountain West UDFA origin plus seven years of Jaguars system experience give him basic veteran foundation. The 2026 question is whether Wingard holds tier 5 or better across a full second starter season or whether the 2025 finish was a one-year context spike.
Wingard came out of Wyoming as a 2019 undrafted free agent signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has anchored the Jaguars' safety rotation across seven seasons. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#65) in 2023 to tier 4 (#25) breakout in 2025.
Strengths
- Tier 4 (#25) breakout in year seven as a 2019 UDFA puts him in the rare outlier-positive late-bloomer S class.
- Wyoming Mountain West UDFA origin plus seven years of Jaguars system experience gives him real journeyman veteran value.
Concerns
- Single tier 4 finish without prior top-30 STTM history puts the 2025 production on a small sample with downside risk.
- Jacksonville's broader defensive identity instability plus the multi-year offensive rebuild compresses the structural support around Wingard.
What to watch: Whether Wingard holds tier 5 or better across the full 2026 Jaguars season, the threshold for confirming the 2025 breakout was structural.
