He will play at the University of Texas at Austin.

The wide receiver received offers from multiple schools including Mizzou, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee and Texas A&M. 

"I kind of had a decision in my head and I have for a while a lot of people it was down to Missouri and Texas for sure," Wingo said. "It was a hard decision to take over Missouri, knowing as close to home. Be able to go play. But, you know, I had to do what's best for me."

The 2024 graduate is ranked as the No. 2 wide receiver and No. 5 prospect overall in the country, according to 24/7Sports. This season, he has nearly 500 receiving yards on 32 catches with four touchdowns. During the 2022-23 season, he had 41 catches for 785 yards, scoring 12 touchdowns.

Between the three, the trio has more than 7,000 yards and counting on the field as Jr. Bills.
