Stiggers is another Ohio commit on this list, and is yet another impressive athlete headed to the MAC. He is now up to 6’3 240 with a cut, long body type. Stiggers is strong, sturdy at the point of attack, and is a no-nonsense pursuer of the ball. He takes good angles to the ball carrier and is a solid tackler in space. There’s nothing too complicated about his game. He is hard to move, doesn’t get washed down the line, and sheds well enough to give him a chance on the ball carrier. Stiggers is a high-floor projection.

A promising EDGE defender who really shined last season at Parkview, Stiggers is an athletic pass-rusher who can fly into the backfield and chase down the quarterback. As a junior this past season, the 6-foot-4 245-pounder made 49 tackles, six TFLs and six sacks. He’ll play at the D1-level, but he’s still underrated in our eyes. He’s bound for a giant senior season next fall at Stephenson and has a chance to be one of the sack leaders in his region. Stiggers should also be added to the next 2026 Prep Redzone update.
