Summary

He might just be the next big WWE star, but Dalton Wagner is perfectly comfortable on the football field right now. Wagner, a 24-year-old super senior, is the elder statesman for the Razorback offense. He’s been a model of consistency, starting in each of the past four seasons and improving throughout. It’s no surprise the WWE came calling with an NIL deal. After all, at 6-foot-9, Wagner looks the part. But for now, he’s focused on football. And with four returning starters along the offensive line and KJ Jefferson back at quarterback, Wagner looks at last season’s 9-4 mark as the baseline. In this episode...Hogs+ senior contributor Clay Henry visits with Wagner and gets to the bottom of what’s in store for him this season and how he ended up becoming one of the longest-tenured Razorbacks.
