Cam Wagner, a 6‑foot‑6, 300‑pound four‑star prospect from Illinois, announced his commitment to the University of Oregon, opting for the Ducks over a slate of high‑profile programs.
The recruit earned Maxpreps All‑American second‑team honors as an offensive tackle and distinguished himself on the mat, qualifying for the IHSA state wrestling tournament in Class 1A and posting a 29‑11 record.
A Recruitment Decision Shaped by Legacy
Wagner’s decision came after he weighed offers from the University of Illinois, the University of Notre Dame and the University of Wisconsin, each of which had pursued him aggressively throughout his senior year.
Coaches at Oregon highlighted the versatility he brings, noting that his blend of size, athleticism and wrestling discipline could translate into a dominant presence on both sides of the ball.
