I like the idea of adding it specifically to make defenses spend time preparing for it. Of course, we would have to be

High schools still use wings a lot and are very successful. Dirty Dan’s Colton High used it back in his HS days.

I remember we played a couple teams in HS that had that type of offense. Our DL killed it.

then you had a really good DL, because it usually takes a 5 man front to stop it, and your LBs have to be stellar. If it
