Draft Profile: Bio
Wagner grew up in Yellow Springs, Ohio and played his high school ball at Wayne under head coach Roosevelt Mukes. He was a consensus four-star recruit, ranked inside the top 120 nationally by both ESPN and 247Sports, and earned invitations to the Polynesian Bowl and All-American Bowl. He was also a standout in track and field, placing third in Ohio's Division I shot put at the state championships.He arrived at Notre Dame in 2022 and redshirted his first year. In 2023 he saw the field in seven games as the reserve right tackle on an offensive line group that earned Joe Moore Award semifinalist recognition. That limited action totaled just 52 snaps, but it set the table for what came next.
Wagner stepped into the starting right tackle role in 2024 and never came off the field, starting all 16 games during Notre Dame's run to the national championship game. He was named a team captain heading into 2025, started all 12 games, and earned multiple character-based award nominations including the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year and the Campbell Trophy.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Good arm length and active hands help him frame up and reset against rushers.
- Delivers a well-timed pass punch that maximizes his reach advantage off the snap.
- Allowed just three sacks across nearly 900 career pass-blocking snaps at Notre Dame.
- Excellent timed speed for a tackle gives him a quick first stride when jump-setting edge rushers.
- Showed clear improvement in pass protection technique over the course of his junior year.
- Comfortable identifying and picking up stunts and delayed blitz packages pre-snap.
- That straight-line speed helps him cover ground to the second level on zone combinations.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Light frame for the position and carries weight high through his torso.
- Run blocking took a noticeable step back during his 2025 junior season.
- Upright pad level limits his ability to generate movement at the point of attack.
- Footwork gets him in trouble; tends to up-kick and step under himself out of his stance.
- Body control and balance break down when redirecting against inside counter moves.
- Struggles adjusting to moving targets in space, particularly on reach blocks and pull assignments.
- Below-average lower body power reduces his capacity to displace defenders in the ground game.
Scouting Report: Summary
At the next level, Wagner is going to earn his keep with his length and hands in pass protection before anything else. He can use that reach to keep rushers at bay, and his punch timing improved noticeably over the course of his junior year. But the foot speed and thickness concerns are going to limit his margin for error against NFL-caliber athletes. He is not a player you plug in at left tackle on day one. Right tackle in a pass-first scheme that values positioning over power is where he has the best chance to stick, likely after some time as a swing backup learning the speed of the game.The run game is the bigger question mark. His pad level runs hot and his lower half does not generate the push you want from a starting tackle. Zone schemes are a better fit than gap or power concepts because his above-average straight-line speed lets him reach the landmarks those plays demand, even if he lacks the anchor to move people in man-blocking sets. He will need to add functional weight without losing what mobility he has. The regression in his run-blocking grades during 2025 is worth monitoring.
Wagner's intangibles are real. He was a team captain at Notre Dame, he accumulated a long list of character awards, and every indication suggests he will outwork the room. Those qualities matter for a player who needs development time. But the physical ceiling is modest, and his most realistic NFL outcome over the first few years of his career is competing for a backup tackle spot or earning a role as a swing option who fills in capably when called upon.
