NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: Aamil Wagner, RT, Notre Dame
Summer is here, and it is everyone's favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota.
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans.

Player Summary
If you want an offensive tackle on your team who will be an enforcer for your entire offense, Aamil Wagner is your guy. If he had skates on, he would be on a Stanley Cup-winning hockey team playing a pivotal role in how they intimidate teams. Instead, he is just playing at Notre Dame and taking out edge rushers who try to get around him. He is constantly taking them out of plays completely, or is simply anchoring well enough to the point they give up on the rep. He needs to get more agile when kicking out, but the raw power and physical traits are there for teams to work with and develop further.

Five-star safety Joey O'Brien commits to Notre Dame football, joining Maryland prep CB Khary Adams
SOUTH BEND — Notre Dame football's 2026 recruiting class continues to fly high in the national rankings. Friday evening, June 20, the latest nonbinding commitment came from five-star safety Joey O'Brien of La Salle College High School in suburban Philadelphia. Rated 30th overall and fourth nationally among safeties, per 247 Sports Composite, O'Brien had the Irish in his top four along with Penn State, Oregon and Clemson. "I'd trust Coach Marcus Freeman with my life," O'Brien said at his announcement, which was carried live on YouTube. "He's the type of dude I want to go to battle for." The 6-foot-3, 185-pound O'Brien, who also stars at wide receiver, took his official visit to Notre Dame last weekend. Flanked by his parents and sisters, O'Brien said he gave the Irish his commitment on Wednesday night, June 18. "It was really a hard choice for me, but that last visit really pushed everything over the top for them," O'Brien said. "I like to win. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to be fighting for a spot as soon as I get there." Earlier Friday, the Irish secured a commitment from four-star cornerback Khary Adams of Loyola Blakefield in Towson, Md. Rated No. 36 overall, Adams chose the Irish over offers from fellow finalists Michigan, Oregon and Penn State. Adams is taking his official visit this weekend. On Wednesday June 18, Notre Dame added a commitment from O'Brien's prep teammate, Wyndmoor, Pa., offensive tackle Grayson McKeough (6-foot-7, 275 pounds). McKeough is a three-star prospect with significant upside. With first-year general manager Mike Martin leading the recruiting operation, the Irish moved past Texas A&M on Friday and trail only USC in the latest national rankings for the 2026 cycle. Martin's predecessor, Chad Bowden, jumped to the Trojans in January. At 6-foot-3 and 182 pounds, Adams has reportedly flashed 4.4 speed in the 40-yard dash and has been clocked at 10.7 seconds in the 100 meters. Only O'Brien and edge rusher Rodney Dunham (No. 15 overall) of Myers Park High School in Charlotte, N.C., rank higher in the current Irish 2026 signing class. In late April, Notre Dame secured a commitment from four-star safety Ayden Pouncey (No. 139 overall) of Winter Park, Fla. Three-star cornerback Chaston Smith gave his commitment last Dec. 1, and the recent additions have only added to the pipeline of talent flowing into defensive pass-game coordinator Mike Mickens' vaunted secondary. Commitments won't become official until the early signing period opens Dec. 3-5.

Padres closer Robert Suarez suspended three games, fined for hitting Shohei Ohtani with pitch
San Diego Padres closer Robert Suarez was suspended for three games and fined an undisclosed amount Friday for intentionally hitting Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers with a pitch during the NL West rivals' contentious meeting Thursday night. Suarez will appeal the suspension, keeping him eligible to play for San Diego on Friday night against Kansas City. Padres manager Mike Shildt and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts also received one-game suspensions and undisclosed fines for their roles in the brouhaha that occurred in both halves of the ninth inning during the Padres' 5-3 victory at Dodger Stadium. 4 Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani is hit by a pitch thrown by San Diego Padres relief pitcher Robert Suarez during the ninth inning of a baseball game Thursday, June 19, 2025, in Los Angeles. AP 'I support it,' Roberts said about the league's disciplinary decision. 'I think that obviously I never want to make the game about the managers. It shouldn't be. It should be about the players and winning, so last night, both managers are protecting their teams, and it just unfortunately got to the point that we became the focus, and that's not the way it should be.' Both managers were ejected in the top of the ninth after they ran onto the field and bumped into each other during a vociferous argument that almost got even more physical before their players and assistant coaches intervened. Shildt believed Dodgers reliever Jack Little intentionally hit Fernando Tatís Jr. in the right hand with a pitch, igniting the latest bench-clearing incident between local rivals with several years of bad-tempered history. 'Circumstances were really challenging this past series, and at the end of the day I don't regret standing up for a guy that I love in Tati, and a team that I love and a city that I love,' Shildt said. 'In that regard, I have no regrets how it got to that point. Again, we can all have our comments and thoughts and theories. 4 Fernando Tatis Jr. and Mookie Betts after the benches cleared due to Tatis Jr. being hit by a pitch in the ninth inning at Dodger Stadium on June 19, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. Getty Images 'But as far as my actions, it's not something you want to do every night or needs to be done, hopefully ever again. But appropriate actions for the circumstances were taken, and I don't regret it at all.' Shildt and Roberts will serve their suspensions Friday. Bench coach Danny Lehmann will manage the Dodgers against the Washington Nationals, and Padres bench coach Brian Esposito will run San Diego's dugout. 4 Shohei Ohtani points into the San Diego Padres dugout after being hit by a pitch from Robert Suarez in the ninth inning at Dodger Stadium on June 19, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. Getty Images In the bottom of the ninth, Ohtani was hit on the back of his right shoulder by Suarez's pitch, putting the tying run on base during the Dodgers' three-run rally. Ohtani's teammates appeared to be preparing to storm the field for the second time before Ohtani waved them back. The three-time MVP then walked to the Padres' dugout for some light banter, defusing the tension. Suarez on Friday insisted he hadn't retaliated for Tatís. 4 Robert Suarez reacts after striking out Max Muncy during the ninth inning of a game at Petco Park on June 09, 2025 in San Diego, California. Getty Images 'I was never trying to get anyone into trouble or hit anybody,' Suarez said through an interpreter. 'Unfortunately it happened. I got ejected and I couldn't finish out the game, but we won as a team and we were able to salvage that game. … (The Dodgers are) entitled to their opinion. They can say whatever they want. That was not the case. I was out there to try to save the game.' Ohtani threw a bullpen session as scheduled Friday despite getting hit by Suarez on his pitching shoulder. Ohtani's second mound start for the Dodgers is still expected to happen Sunday, Roberts said. Tatís was in the Padres' lineup as usual Friday. Manny Machado said afterward that the Dodgers should 'pray' Tatís had escaped serious injury, encouraging them to 'put out a candle.'
