NFL Draft 2026 Scouting Report for Notre Dame OT Aamil Wagner

Brandon ThornFeb 13, 2026

Aamil Wagner was a two-year starting right tackle and team captain at Notre Dame. His high-cut build and unrefined footwork are mitigated by his ability to cast a wide net with length and active hands that allow him to frame up, reset, stay attached and wall off defenders in both the run and pass game.

That gives him a developmental swing-tackle outlook within his NFL rookie contract.

Wagner is a 6'6", 300-pound tackle prospect who committed to Notre Dame as a 4-star recruit in the 2022 class. He started 28 games at right tackle during his time with the Irish, including 12 in 2025 as a team captain.

Wagner participated in the Shrine Bowl.

— Broad frame with very good length, hand size and wingspan.

— Casts a wide net with active, independent hands to harden his edges and reset himself after the point of attack.

— Solid upper-body strength and mass to lock out and wall off defenders on angle-drive blocks.

— Adequate movement skills allow him to be serviceable at the second level off combinations.

— Improved his posture and balance as the 2025 season progressed.

Areas of Improvement

3 of 5

— Upright playing style and high-cut build result in below-average reactionary quickness and lateral agility.

— Unrefined footwork leads to stepping under himself out of his stance and up-kicking, resulting in late feet and overextending when caught out of position.
