Apr. 26—Aamil Wagner, a 2022 Wayne High School graduate from Yellow Springs, signed with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent on Sunday, April 26, according to multiple reports.
Wagner, a 6-foot-5, 306-pound offensive tackle, spent the last four seasons at Notre Dame. He started all 16 games in 2024 as a redshirt sophomore and all 12 games in 2025 when he served as a team captain.
Wagner announced in December he would enter the NFL Draft and would not use his final year of college eligibility.
"I want to start off by thanking God for giving me the opportunity to play the sport I love at a place like Notre Dame, surrounded by the people I love the most," Wagner wrote on Instagram. "The past four years spent at Notre Dame have been a remarkable experience, and I wouldn't change a single thing. The memories I've made with teammates, staff, and friends on campus will last me a lifetime. Notre Dame has given so much to me and I was honored to be able to serve as one of the captains for the 2025 team.
"To Notre Dame, Coach (Marcus) Freeman's staff, and the O-line room: thank you for accepting me as family. Thank you for allowing me to grow and become the man I am today. And lastly, thank you for making this college experience some of the best years of my life.
"After much prayer and thought, I have decided to pursue my dreams by declaring for the NFL Draft. I am extremely excited for the next step in my journey, but Notre Dame will always be home."
NFL Draft: Xenia grad picked in seventh round
Six Notre Dame players were drafted Thursday through Saturday. Wagner ranked fourth among the offensive tackles who were not drafted, according to ESPN.
According to the Scouts Inc. pre-draft analysis on Wagner, he tested "better than expected" at the NFL Combine.
"On tape, it looks like he lacks the quickness to match speed rushers or reach defenders on run blocks," the report read, "But once latched on, he has strong hands to sustain and mirror. Wagner has an average first step and can be late to punch. He also works with a very wide base and has stiffness that does not allow him to play on the rise. Wagner's feet can stop on contact, which he will have to clean up."
Aamil Wagner is a 6-foot-5, 306-pound offensive tackle who graduated from Wayne High School in 2022.
Aamil Wagner played for Notre Dame for four seasons before signing with the Tennessee Titans.
