Scouting Journals for Aamil Wagner

High-upside offensive tackle with a developmental body type along with top notch athleticism and play strength. Owns a lean build at 6-foot-6, 260 pounds. Has good length with 34-inch arms to go with large hands. Has the frame to hold 300-plus pounds. One of the stronger offensive linemen in the 2022 cycle despite being 50 to 100 pounds lighter than many of his peers. Regularly finishes blocks by putting defensive linemen on the ground. Possesses significant upper body and core strength, which is validated by his background as an elite thrower in track. Has light feet and moves to the second level with ease. Capable of running to block screens as far out as the boundary. Will need at least one year in Notre Dame’s strength program and training table. Also needs to develop his pass set technique as he has primarily been getting by off of athleticism and physical tools to this point.

Of the lighter, developmental offensive tackles in both All-American games, we thought Notre Dame signee Aamil Wagner had the best play strength. Many of the offensive linemen at the All-American Bowl were well over 330 pounds, so Wagner’s lack of mass stood out in the group. He looks to be in the 250-260 pound range. With that said, Wagner played stronger than many of the 300+ pounders. We saw him take Texas A&M signee Enai White to the ground in 1-on-1’s on the first day. That strong base and pop in his hands continued throughout the week. It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that Wagner is so strong, given he has a 60-foot shot put toss to his name. He pairs that strength with some of the better movement skills and athleticism among tackles in the cycle. Wagner worked with the second team throughout the week and played both right and left tackle on two of his team’s best drives in the game.
