He led his team to a championship game that they won, and during his high school career, he also received several awards. However, his review of Rivals.com was not so fantastic as only one college made him an offer that he accepted. He was a four-year college entrant, and his college career statistics were still impressive considering his high school evaluations.
He moved up into the National Football League (NFL) and his team’s fans cheered, roared, and longed for more. Learn all about him and what he has done over the years, including his relationship life.
Bobby Wagner Bio
Bobby (Bobby Joseph Wagner) was born on July 27, 1990, in Los Angeles, California, the son of Phenia Wagner (mother) and Bobby Wagner Snr. (father). He grew up in Los Angeles with his siblings – Robert Wagner and Nakima Ward. Unfortunately, it was reported that their mother died in 2009 as a result of a heart attack.
Wagner Jr. attended Colony High School in Ontario, California, where he began to play soccer more tactfully with his school’s team. During his high school career, the child was honored with an award in the Central Division (CIF), an award in the Baldy League, and an award in the California Division 2.

Bobby Wagner was a starter in the Utah State Aggies from 2008 to 2011 with a total of 445 tackles, 28.5 defeats, 4.5 sacks, and 2 interceptions from the 48 games he played as an Aggie. His college career stats were good enough, so he received an invitation to the 2012 Senior Bowl, making him the second Utah State University student to play in the Senior Bowl after Chris Cooler (2004).
As expected, he gave the game his best and was voted MVP of the Senior Bowl and the most outstanding player of the North. This put him on the radar of many NFL teams, but, as tradition has it, the Seattle Seahawks chose Bobby Wagner as the 47th player in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
On May 7, 2012, he signed a four-year contract worth $4.30 million with a signing bonus of $1.57 million and a $2.51 million guarantee. However, due to an injury suffered by his teammate Barrett Ruud, Bobby Wagner was named a starting midline backer along with his teammates K. J. Wright and Leroy Hill. Bobby’s rookie season ended with 140 combined tackles, including 87 solo tackles, 4 pass shots, 3 interceptions, and 2 sacks in the 16 games from which he started except one.
He suffered a defeat with the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl XLIX after losing 24-28 to the New England Patriots. Nevertheless, Wagner still leads with the most tackles (22) in a Super Bowl.
Bobby Wagner’s contract for newcomers was extended for another four years at a value of $43 million, with $19.97 million guaranteed and $8 million as a signing bonus on August 2, 2015. This new contract would keep him on the team until the end of the 2018 season. In summary, the linebacker completed a total of 778 tackles with 475 solos, 15.5 sacks, 8 interceptions, 2 forced fumble, and 2 fumble touchdowns.
Net Worth
American football is indeed a very rewarding sport for those who by nature go beyond their limits to perform better than the best there is to beat on the field.

For this reason, the middle linebacker of the Seattle Seahawks has a net worth that is reliably stated as $10.4 million.
