Scouting Report: NC State Wolfpack
After a blowout loss in week 0 to UVA and one of the worst losses I’ve ever seen to Vanderbilt, it seemed like the season might be over before it ever really started for the Wolfpack. Since then, however, NC State has bounced back with wins over App State and Louisville. It seems like the […]
Wake Forest Basketball Loses Scrimmage to Georgetown 94-77
We got our first look at the 2026-27 Wake Forest Basketball team this afternoon in a scrimmage against Georgetown, and unless Georgetown ends up being an NCAA contender, there is definitely a lot of work to do between now and November. While this was an October 4th scrimmage a full month before the season begins, […]
Recap: Wake Forest Steamrolls Stanford 57-3
It’s rare for Wake Forest to have a fun, stress-free, wire-to-wire win against a conference opponent in football, but that’s what took place today. The Deacs completely annihilated the Stanford Cardinal in every single phase of the game and ran up 57 points to put together their biggest conference win in the history of the […]

Scouting Report: Stanford Cardinal
The Deacs are off to a hot start this season and head into Saturday’s matchup as nearly 2 touchdown favorites. As Louisville found out on Saturday, being a double digit favorite at home after a big win doesn’t actually mean anything—the Deacs cannot afford to overlook anyone on the schedule. The Cardinal is coming into […]
Wake Forest Lands Just Outside Top 25 in Latest AP Poll
After taking down #16 Louisville on the road this weekend, the Deacs just missed breaking into the Ap Top 25 for the first time since October 30th 2022. The Deacs received 88 points, essentially putting them at #29 in the nation. Wake Forest appeared on 21 of the 70 pollsters’ ballots, coming in as high […]
Recap: Wake Forest Upsets #16 Louisville on the Road 30-27
What a win for the Deacs! Wake Forest walked into Louisville as 12 point underdogs and emerged 3-1 with back to back ranked road wins for the first time since 1946. This game started as a shootout and ended as a defensive struggle—the two teams combined for 531 yards and 45 points in the first […]

Scouting Report: Louisville Cardinals
After dropping the first game of the season to #5 Miami last weekend, things aren’t getting any easier for the Deacs. Wake is on the road this week to take on a Louisville team that has jumped up to #16 in the latest AP poll after taking down #16 SMU 41-31. The Cards are 2-1 […]
Recap: Wake Forest Falls to #5 Miami 33-20
Despite a valiant 2nd half effort, Wake Forest dropped their first game of the season to #5 Miami 33-20. The Canes showed in the 1st half why they are one of the best teams in the country—the Miami offense scored touchdowns on their first 3 possessions and probably would have gotten a 4th touchdown if […]

Scouting Report: Miami Hurricanes
The Deacs are 2-0, but the schedule is starting to get much harder now. Wake will play the first of their 4 ranked opponents (Miami, Louisville, UVA, SMU) this Friday when the #5 Miami Hurricanes come to Winston-Salem. There is a reason the Deacs are 24 points underdogs in this one—the Canes are coming off […]
Recap: Wake Forest Outlasts Purdue 38-36 in 2OT
The Deacs are officially 2-0 after taking down the Purdue Boilermakers 38-36 in double overtime. If it’s true that there’s no such thing as a bad win, that is probably the closest thing to it. Despite being in control for over 3 quarters, the Deacs somehow nearly threw the whole thing away in the final […]

Behind Enemy Lines: Q&A With Hammer and Rails
It has been a long time since Wake Forest and Purdue faced each other on the football field. The last time the Deacs and Boilermakers played, future NFL QB Kyle Orton was squaring off against future ACC Player of the Year Chris Barclay all the way back in 2003. To get us a little more […]
Scouting Report: Purdue Boilermakers
The first year of Barry Odom’s tenure at the helm at Purdue was pretty much the exact opposite of what Dickert pulled off at Wake Forest—after starting the season 2-0 with wins over Ball State and Southern Illinois, the Boilermakers lost their final 10 games of the season, finishing the year with a 53 point […]
Wake Forest Basketball Adds Georgia Transfer Justin Abson
The Deacs are adding some more front court depth to the 2026-27 roster—whether he will actually be allowed to play is still up for debate. Abson is a 6-9 forward who played at App State for 2 seasons before finishing out his 4 year career with the Georgia Bulldogs. In his senior year with Georgia, […]
Recap: Wake Forest Breezes Past Akron 38-16
The 2026 season kicked off last night, and, if the first game is any indication, the Deacs may be even better than they were last season. The 38-16 final score was really not indicative of how much Wake Forest dominated the game—the Deacs got up as much as 38-3 in the 4th quarter before the […]

Scouting Report: Akron Zips
The Deacs kickoff the season against the Akron Zips this Thursday at 7PM on ACC Network. Since Akron has not played a game yet this season, this scouting report is going to be forced to focus mainly on what the Zips did last year, so it may not be the best look into what the […]

Wake Forest Releases Week 1 Depth Chart
The Deacs have released the unofficial depth chart for their week 1 game against Akron, and it is—for the most part—what was expected. On the offensive side, the only real surprises are at tackle. Tolu Olajide starting at left tackle and redshirt freshman Aidan Martin getting the start over redshirt junior George Steih, who started […]
2026 Wake Forest Preview: Season Predictions
The offseason is officially over, because the Wake Forest Demon Deacons play football in exactly 1 week! As always, its time to try to take a guess on how the Deacs will perform this season and where they will end up in the standings. Last season, the Deacs were given a 4.5 game win total […]
2026 Wake Forest Preview: Special Teams
Special teams were a bit of a mixed bag last season for the Deacs. There were games when a special teams play ended up winning the game for Wake Forest, and there were games were a special teams play arguably cost the Deacs the game. The kicking units—field goal, kickoff, kick return—were pretty solid all […]
2026 Wake Forest Preview: Defensive Backs
The Wake Forest secondary had one of, if not the, best turnarounds in college football last season. The Deacs held opponents to a 59% completion rate (down from 70% in 2025) for 207 yards (down from 279 in 2025) and 0.9 touchdowns per game (down from 1.9 in 2025) through the air. Unfortunately for the […]
