Robby Ashford - Effective in win Ashford was 15-for-25 passing for 191 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-12 win over North Carolina. He also had 10 rushes for 52 yards with one touchdown.
Impact Ashford had split work with Deshawn Purdie in previous weeks, but he handled all of the quarterback work during Saturday's win. He completed at least 60 percent of his passes for the first time since Week 6 and just the fourth time in nine games. Ashford scored multiple touchdowns for just the second time all year.
NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Demond Claiborne - Breaks touchdown drought Claiborne totaled 23 rushes for 98 yards and one touchdown and hauled in 2 of 3 targets for 12 yards during Saturday's 28-12 victory versus North Carolina.
Impact Claiborne had racked up eight touchdowns across his first six games of the campaign, but went three straight appearances without a score until Week 12. A 12-yard scamper in the second quarter broke the dry spell, and Claiborne finished the contest with his most yards since Week 7. Through 10 games, Claiborne has rushed 154 times for 812 yards (5.3 ypc) while catching 23 passes for 110 receiving yards.
NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Carlos Hernandez - Unstoppable in win Hernandez logged six receptions (on 10 targets) for 100 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-12 win over North Carolina.
Impact Hernandez had combined for two receptions and 15 receiving yards over his last three games before breaking out against UNC. The junior wideout set season highs in receptions, targets and receiving yards while reeling in his first touchdown of the campaign. Additionally, he saw just his second rush attempt of the year, which he took to the house from 51 yards out. The increased workload was largely due to the absence of Micah Mays (undisclosed) and Chris Barnes (undisclosed).
NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Micah Mays Jr. - Set to return to practice Mays (undisclosed) is set to return to practice for the Demon Deacons on Tuesday morning, per Deacons Illustrated.
Impact Mays has missed the last two games for Wake Forest but is trending towards a return against Delaware, as he's partaking in practice early in the week. The starting wideout has 17 grabs for 295 yards and two touchdowns.
NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Barnes - Will be back at practice Tuesday Barnes (undisclosed) will be back at practice Tuesday morning, Deacons Illustrated reports.
Impact Barnes practicing on Tuesday indicates that there will be a progression of the wide receiver potentially being available Saturday against Delaware. Transferring from Washington State to Wake Forest has paid dividends for the top wideout with 34 receptions (on 52 targets) for 504 yards and three touchdowns this 2025 season.

Wake Forest rides Carlos Hernandez's big plays, defense past North Carolina 28-12

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • Associated Press
Harry Lodge - Good to go Saturday Lodge is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus North Carolina.
Impact Lodge, who has missed the last five games due to an undisclosed injury, is now off the injury report and available to make his return to the field. He was not targeted during his four healthy games, so he's not expected to make much of an impact in his return.
NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Barnes - Unavailable vs. Tar Heels Barnes (undisclosed) won't play against North Carolina on Saturday.
Impact Barnes was a question mark all week, and the Demon Deacons' top receiver made it to game day but is ultimately out against the Tar Heels. The redshirt freshman has 34 grabs for 504 yards this fall, but in his stead, Carlos Hernandez and Sterling Berkhalter will need to step up.

Jeremiah Melvin - Off injury report Melvin (undisclosed) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against UNC.
Impact Melvin will suit up after a one-game absence last week. Despite appearing in every game previously, Melvin has just three catches for 39 yards and a score. He's expected to be minimally involved upon his return.
NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Micah Mays Jr. - Out again Mays (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against UNC.
Impact Mays will sit a second straight game due to an undisclosed injury. Prior to his absence he had found the endzone in two of his last three games. His next chance to suit up will be Nov. 22 against Delaware.
NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Barnes - Question mark vs. UNC Barnes (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Wake Forest's tilt with North Carolina.
Impact Barnes has yet to miss a game this season. The Demon Deacons' leading receiver, who's reeled in 34 catches for 504 yards and three touchdowns, is now in danger of changing that against the Tar Heels, however. Keep an eye on Barnes' status as Wake Forest continues to release injury reports ahead of kickoff.

SEC Pushes For No Automatic Qualifiers in College Football Playoff
Chris Barnes - Quiet in upset Barnes gathered in 2 of 7 targets for 12 yards during Saturday's 16-9 victory versus Virginia.
Impact Barnes was the only Wake Forest wide receiver to catch multiple passes Saturday as the quarterback combination of Robby Ashford and Deshawn Purdie completed nine passes total. The second-year wideout has seen at least seven targets in three of his last five games, and he's totaled 19 receptions for 217 yards and three touchdowns during that stretch.
NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Demond Claiborne - Season high in carries Claiborne posted 25 carries for 75 yards and gathered in all two targets for eight yards during Saturday's 16-9 victory against Virginia.
Impact Claiborne may have received his most volume in a game this season, but he struggled with efficiency as Wake Forest went without an offensive touchdown and had issues moving the football. In his last three games, Claiborne has turned 62 carries into 175 yards (2.8 ypc), while catching five of seven targets. He averaged 7.8 yards per carry before the dreadful three-game stretch.
NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Deshawn Purdie - Handles three drives as backup Purdie was 2-for-7 passing for 18 yards during Saturday's 16-9 victory over Virginia.
Impact Purdie served as the backup to Robby Ashford on Saturday, but that didn't prevent Purdie from being under center for three drives. The sophomore quarterback struggled when on the field, completing merely two passes for 18 yards while providing no rushing yards.
NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Robby Ashford - Starts, cedes work to Purdie Ashford completed 7 of 16 passes for 46 yards during Saturday's 16-9 victory over Virginia. He also had 11 rushes for 57 yards.
Impact Ashford has been dealing with injuries in past weeks and had previously split work with backup DeShawn Purdie. The veteran quarterback yielded three drives to Purdie during Saturday's upset, and while his passing numbers weren't great, Ashford topped 50 rushing yards for the fourth time this season. He's completed 13 or fewer passes in five of his eight appearances in 2025.
