Bio

Rustan Rigdon Pronunciation

 

Head coach Tim Corbin on Rigdon: “Rooster is a very versatile young man. Naturally a shortstop, we targeted him very early in the recruiting process based on his ability to hit from both sides of the plate and play anywhere on the field. Because of an arm injury, Rooster played center field left-handed his senior year. He has offensive abilities that will enable him to challenge for playing time as a freshman. Very even disposition on the field.”
