What’s it like right now, being a 4-star recruit in St. Joseph Illinois? (Population: 3,931)

“It is awesome for sure to be recruited like I am, and it makes it even better being from a small town.” stated the St. Joseph native. “Everywhere I go they know who I am, and I feel really supported by my community. It just feels so cool.“

How does it feel to have the Illini in heavy pursuit, just 15 minutes down the road?

“It just feels great,” states Wagner. “I have made great relationships with most of the coaches on the staff, and I love how close we are to each other, because it’s not a hassle to get to campus and see them.” 

You recently watched Illinois Football take on Michigan on your visit to Champaign. Tell us about that experience as a local recruit from the Champaign Area?

“Yes, it was a great game,” said Wagner. “I felt like a VIP because they really rolled out the red carpet for me. It was an amazing experience with the coaches and a couple of other recruits. I also really like how they treated my family they didn’t just focus on me, they also focused on everyone in my family as well.”

What does the recruiting world look like right now for you?

“Recruiting looks crazy for me right now.” stated the 4-star OL. “Tons of schools are reaching out. A few schools that stand out are Illinois, Nebraska, Tennessee, Louisville, Oklahoma, and Alabama.

When asked if he could envision himself at Illinois, Cameron stated, “I could see my self staying home.”

What Do You Enjoy Doing Outside the Crazy World of Being a Highly Sought-After Recruit?

“My hobbies outside of football are things to do with cars. I have been getting into car audio recently, and I really like that. I also really like welding at St. Joe’s Metal Shape at our school.
