Indiana’s long, high-motor TE with NFL-rooted upside
In the 2009 season, Troy Wagner was a 6-foot-5, 260-pound redshirt senior tight end for Indiana who played in 32 career games with 16 starts and finished with 8 catches for 81 yards and 1 touchdown. He stood out more for size, reliable hands, and effort than volume, and one preseason scouting note praised his high motor and pass-catching upside. For a team, he fit as a classic in-line TE with enough receiving juice to matter near the goal line; the knock was modest production, not star-level explosiveness.
