Wagner Unsure of Future With the Aztecs
Darrin Wagner, a San Diego State running back, was absent from practice Monday and said he is unsure if he will practice today because of “personal stuff I had to take care of.”
“Things are not going my way right now. I’m just not mentally there right now. It has nothing to do with football. I’m just tired,” he said.
Said Coach Al Luginbill: “I need to talk to the young man before I can comment.”
Wagner was the 1987 San Diego Section player of the year at Lincoln High when he rushed for a county-best 1,931 yards, the second highest single-season mark in San Diego history.
He redshirted last season, then transferred to Nebraska in January. After enrolling and going to classes for three weeks, Wagner returned to SDSU. He was battling with senior Ron Slack for the starting tailback spot this season.
