While at Maumee, Wagener was a three-time All-Ohio player. He also was a four-time All-Northern Lakes League and All-District selectiion.
"Alex is a strong and aggressive attack oriented forward," said Owens head men's soccer coach Art Johnson, who has recorded 207 wins in 18 years at Owens. "His ability to create scoring chances and keep his teammates involved is a plus. "The maturity he brings to the field will help us excel with the abundance of young, incoming players this year."
Wagener becomes the first student-athlete signed by Johnson for the 2016-17 recruiting class.

The Owens men's soccer team finished 14-7-2 this past fall and advanced to the Region XII championship game before falling in penalty kicks to Schoolcraft College.
