After redshirting his freshman season in 2015 after recovering from an injury, Wanogho switched to the offensive side of the football and has put together quite the illustrious career with the Tigers. Wanogho graduated in December of 2018 from Auburn, but returned to school in order to improve his draft stock ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft.
He has been on the Academic Honor Roll every year of his career at Auburn, and saw his first action on the field in 2016 as a redshirt freshman. In 2017, Wanogho started the first four games of the season at left tackle for the Tigers; last year is when Wanogho burst onto the scene for the Tigers and entered into draft discussions.
Last year, Wanogho started every game at left tackle for the Tigers, and finished the year by being named to Pro Football Focus’ first team All-SEC. On the radar for the 2020 NFL Draft, Wanogho returned to Auburn where he has started every game for the Tigers in 2019 as well.
