Teammates thrilled for 'old man' Wagner's nod
( David Beach ) Arkansas offensive lineman Dalton Wagner (78) on Saturday, November 6, 2021, at Reynolds Razorback Stadium, Fayetteville.FAYETTEVILLE — Game No. 42 of Dalton Wagner’s career will likely feel a bit different than the others.
Like in 28 other games at Arkansas, he is expected to start on the offensive line. But for the season opener against No. 23 Cincinnati on Saturday — and the rest of the season — he will have “team captain” attached to his name.
Wagner, a 6-9 right tackle from Illinois, informed Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman late last season that he intended to take advantage of the additional year of eligibility granted by the NCAA because of the covid-19 pandemic.
