He was a part of one of the most famous plays in college football history, "The Goal Line Stand" in Alabama's Sugar Bowl victory over Penn State in 1979.[1] He played for college coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. From Pee Wee football through high school, he led every team he played for in tackles.^{[citation needed]}

Wingo is the only player in Packers history to have a scoring total of 1 point. On September 6, 1981, against the Chicago Bears, he caught a pass in the end zone for a successful point-after-touchdown after a botched place-kick attempt. (At the time, either a successful place-kick or advancing the ball into the end zone both counted for one point.)

Wingo served as strength coach at Alabama under former head coach Bill Curry.[2]

He lives in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and has two sons: Jake and Luke.

In 2014 Wingo ran for a seat in the Alabama House of Representatives, winning the general election in November.[3] He was sworn into office in 2015.[4]
