Wagner earns starting nod at Akron
Catholic Central High School graduate Brian Wagner will be getting his first taste of Division I college football this fall.
Wagner, the 2007 Division VI defensive player of the year in Ohio, has earned a starting spot at linebacker at Akron University, according to Tom Gaffney of the Akron Beacon Journal:
Brian Wagner spent the 2008 football season observing Kevin Grant and apparently will spend the 2009 season replacing him. Wagner, a redshirt freshman at the University of Akron, has earned a starting spot at middle linebacker, a position that Grant held with distinction for four years. ”It’s exciting to follow him. It would be an honor to play as well as he did,” Wagner said. ”I want to work hard the rest of camp and hopefully do well this year myself.”
The Zips open the season at Penn State on Saturday, Sept. 5 at Noon. The game will be televised live on Big Ten Network.
