Notre Dame redshirt junior right tackle Aamil Wagner has been named to the AFCA Good Works Team, the Irish announced Tuesday.

Wagner is also Notre Dame’s third-straight semifinalist for the Wuerffel Trophy, which honors community service, leadership and performance.

“Wagner leads initiatives to improve the lives of athletes off the field, from youth athletics to collegiate student-athletes,” the Irish wrote in a press release. “He is heavily involved in the leadership of player development initiatives at Notre Dame which support in the areas of goal-setting, relationship-building, networking, leadership, financial planning and performance.

“He also serves as the president of the Notre Dame chapter of Uplifting Athletes, an organization which supports the rare disease community and their families through local outreach, events and fundraising. Through the organization, Wagner has planned events and stayed in direct contact with families. 

“In addition, he is a regular volunteer at his local senior center, homeless shelter and church. He has also worked with Just a Pair of Shoes, which provides community youth a new pair of shoes, near his hometown. On campus, Wagner is a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Council and Notre Dame Christian Athletes.”

Wagner is the 11th member of the Fighting Irish to make the Good Works Team, most recently following Jack Kiser in 2024, JD Bertrand in 2022 and Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa in 2021. Kiser (2024) and Bertrand (2023) were also Wuerffel Trophy semifinalists.
