High school career

A native of Columbus, Texas, Waddle attended Columbus High School where he was coached by Brent Mascheck. The Columbus Cardinals finished 5–4 in Waddle's senior year and did not make the UIL playoffs. Behind Waddle pulling and clearing the way for the running back, the Cardinals averaged 281.0 rushing yards per game with 26 rushing touchdowns on the season.

Regarded as a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, Waddle was ranked as the No. 74 offensive guard prospect nationally in a class that also included Jonotthan Harrison, Corey Linsley, and Chance Warmack.[1] Waddle was not heavily recruited, receiving offers from Tulane, Rice, Houston, and SMU. He planned on going to near-by Houston until Texas Tech recruited him.[2]

He had taken over the job after Hilliard was injured in a week 7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Waddle was injured in the 2014 season and went through off-season knee surgery. He was cut by the Lions on December 15, 2015.[5]
