Wake Forest hangs on to beat Kennesaw State 10-9, gives Jake Dickert a win in Demon Deacons debut
Robby Ashford scored Wake Forest’s lone touchdown on a first-quarter keeper and the Demon Deacons came up with a clinching late stop to hold off Kennesaw State 10-9 on Friday nightAUGUST 30, 2025 • Associated Press
Coleman Bennett - Rushes for TD Bennett ran 17 times for 66 yards and a score against Wake Forest on Friday.
Impact Bennett spend a few solid seasons with Bucknell, but last season at Rice he found no room for opportunity. That led to the move to KSU, where he seems to be the lead back. Averaging 3.9 yards per carry against the Demon Deacons isn't exactly exciting, but he did nothing to hurt his standing with the team.

Dexter Williams II - Iffy in KSU debut Williams went 12-for-33 for 149 yards and ran 14 times for 44 yards Friday against Wake Forest.
Impact Kennesaw State is trying to get in gear in its second season as an FBS team, and part of that was bringing Williams in. He played sparingly at Indiana, and then at Georgia Southern. Wake is an ACC team, but not a terribly imposing one, so this performance is concerning.

Demond Claiborne - Won't return due to rib injury Claiborne won't return to Friday's game against Kennesaw State due to a rib injury, Conor O'Neill of Rivals.com reports.
Impact Claiborne suffered the injury in the first half and was deemed unavailable to return for the second half. That's a huge loss for Wake Forest, as he was expected to lead the rushing attack for the Demon Deacons. Ty Clark and JaMario Clements are expected to shoulder the backfield load in the absence of Claiborne.
