While still a student at Monaca High School, Wagner was hailed by the media for being one of Pennsylvania's most versatile football players. He then made the varsity squad as a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh, where he was an end player. That season Pitt posted a 9–0 record. Although Wagner was primarily used as an end at Pitt moving forward, Pitt's coach Joe Thompson developed him into a utility player, using him at every other position except quarterback. In 1913, Wagner captained the Pitt team and received All-American honors.
After graduation, Wagner became a prominent surgeon in Pittsburgh, treating patients until his retirement in 1975. He also served twelve years on the University of Pittsburgh's board of trustees.
