The preseason AP Top 25 poll was released today, and the ACC has 3 members represented: Miami at 7, SMU at 19, and Louisville at 24. These 3 teams all have something in common—they all play Wake Forest this season. The Deacs will play 2025 National Runner Up #7 Miami at home in week 3. […]
2026 Wake Forest Preview: Offensive Line
Offensive line is not the flashiest position on the field, but it is where games are won and lost. It doesn’t matter how good the rest of the team is, if the line can’t block, the offense isn’t going to score very many points. Unfortunately for the Deacs, they will be looking to replace 4 […]
2026 Wake Forest Football Preview: Tight End
The tight end position was starting to lose its importance in the Wake Forest offense towards the end of the Clawson era—that changed under 1st year head coach Jake Dickert.

2026 Wake Forest Preview: Wide Receiver
The good news for Wake Forest is that they are getting back their top pass catcher from a season ago in senior Carlos Hernandez.

The obvious difference between last season and this season at the running back position is that the Deacs will be without Demond Claiborne, who was drafted in the 6th round of the NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings.

Wake Forest Basketball: Transfer Portal Recap
I was trying to wait for the Deacs to add another point guard before posting this transfer portal recap for the basketball team, but it’s the middle of June and I’m starting to think that isn’t going to happen anymore (Wake did add Dimitrije Kovacevic in the middle of August last year, so I guess […]
