A coveted offensive tackle from the Class of 2022 will make his college commitment live Thursday at 2 p.m. ET on CBS Sports HQ. Aamil Wagner, a four-star prospect, will announce his decision from a group of finalists that includes Notre Dame, Penn State, Ohio State, Maryland and Kentucky. Wagner is considered the No. 11 offensive tackle in the class, according to 247Sports Composite rankings. You can watch the announcement live in the video at the top of this page, on the CBS Sports App or via your connected device (Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV).Â
Kentucky is considered the favorite to land Wagner, according to the 247Sports Crystal Ball. The 6-foot-6 recruit from Wayne High School in Huber Heights, Ohio, is the younger brother of former Wildcats player and current graduate assistant Ahmad Wagner.
Wagner is a multi-sport athlete who also plays basketball and competes in track and field. He projects as a potential future Day 2 NFL draft selection, according to 247Sports national recruiting analyst Allen Trieu. Here is the full scouting report from Trieu:
Lean, athletic prospect who can run, bend and move more like a tight end than offensive tackle. Has started to fill in but still has work to do in that department with getting stronger and bigger. Plays with good leverage and body lean. Keeps his feet well when drive blocking and athleticism allows him to mirror when pass blocking. Will get violent and finish his blocks, which the hope is that that will be enhanced with added strength. High upside guy. May not be an immediate impact player in college because of needed strength and conditioning time, but long term prospects are excellent as a college starter and for playing beyond college.
Mark Stoops’ Wildcats currently hold the No. 16 class for 2022, ranking sixth within the SEC.Â
