On3 5-Star Countdown: No. 29, OT Aamil Wagner

As college football heads toward the proverbial end of the 2022 recruiting cycle, On3 will soon release its final rankings for this year’s senior class.

At the top of those rankings are 32 five-star prospects, each of whom was among the most heavily recruited high school football players in the country this year. Next up on the countdown is the No. 29 prospect in the 2022 class, Dayton (Ohio) Wayne offensive tackle and Notre Dame signee Aamil Wagner.

After checking is at No. 89 in On3’s previous rankings, Wagner has ascended into five-star territory.

The player evaluations not only include their full senior seasons, but their performances in the practices and games of the Under Armour All-American Game and the All-American Bowl in San Antonio. The final batch of five-stars has some significant movement from the previous rankings, including 15 newly minted members of the club. It also is headlined by a new No. 1 overall player.

Aamil Wagner Scouting Summary

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. — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
