2028 University WR/DB Sam Wannemacher Sam Wannemacher 5'11" | 145 lbs | WR/DB University | 2028 WV is a player with plenty of developmental upside, and this camp should give a good look at where he’s at heading into the offseason. His freshman film at University showed flashes of athleticism and playmaking ability, and now the focus shifts to how much progress he’s made since then. Injuries slowed parts of last season at the JV level, but the raw tools are still there. Wannemacher is a good track athlete with movement skills you can build around, and as he continues adding size and strength, there’s a path for him to become a meaningful contributor at the varsity level as an upperclassman.

We were impressed with University’s 2028 class and the potential that they showed as freshman last season, and that continues with WR Sam Wannemacher Sam Wannemacher 5'11" | 145 lbs | WR/DB University | 2028 WV . He’ll need to keep developing physically before making a big impact on varsity, but Wannaemacher has the athleticism to become a playmaker for the Hawks on Friday nights in time. He was very productive at both receiver and safety on their freshman team and can align at both the slot and outside receiver on offense. Given his size, Wannemacher’s future is likely in the slot where he can develop into a playmaker on varsity after some patience behind a talented junior and senior skill group.
