High school

Wolf attended Minster High School in Minster, Ohio. While at Minster High school, Wolf originally was a wide receiver, but later made the change to his current tight end position.[1]

College career

After finishing his high school career, Wolf first committed to Eastern Michigan University. Later on however, Wolf decided to decommit from Eastern Michigan and attend Tennessee as a walk-on.[2] While at Tennessee, Wolf only had 8 receptions for 86 yards and 1 touchdown in 3 years. This was due in part to the fact that Tennessee had a different offensive coordinator in each of his three years there. After his Junior year, Wolf decided to enter the transfer portal and transferred to the Georgia Bulldogs. At Georgia, Wolf had 13 receptions for 194 yards, which in one year was more than he amassed at Tennessee in 3 years, and 1 touchdown.[3] After the 2019 college football season, Wolf declared for the NFL Draft.

Professional career

Wolf signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent following the 2020 NFL Draft on May 5, 2020.[4] He was waived during final roster cuts on September 5, 2020,[5] and signed to the team's practice squad the next day.[6] He was placed on the practice squad/injured list on November 3, 2020,[7] and restored to the practice squad on December 10.[8] On January 18, 2021, Wolf signed a reserve/futures contract with the Ravens.[9]

Personal life

Wolf's brother, Ethan Wolf, also attended Tennessee and the two played each other in the 2019 college football game between Tennessee and Georgia.
