FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Shortly after the NFL Draft concluded, Arkansas offensive lineman Dalton Wagner found a landing spot in Las Vegas.

Wagner is joining the Raiders as an undrafted free agent, with Wagner's agent, Brett Tessler, confirming the news.

The Las Vegas Raiders signed my client Dalton Wagner (OT, Arkansas) to a rookie free agent deal. Had several teams interested and got a very large guarantee.

The 6-foot-9 lineman from Spring Grove, Ill. made 40 starts across five seasons on the field at Arkansas.

His redshirt senior season saw him start in 12 games as a team for the Razorbacks. He earned First-Team All-SEC honors from Pro Football Focus and Second-Team All-SEC honors from the Associated Press.

Wagner is the first known Razorback to sign a rookie free agent deal today, with two Hogs having been selected in the draft this year (Drew Sanders - Denver, Ricky Stromberg - Washington).
