GREENSBORO, N.C. - Wake Forest guard Blake Henry was named the ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday. It is the second weekly honor earned by a Demon Deacon this season.

Henry, a 6-6, 301-lb. senior, played every offensive snap against Purdue, a total of 83 plays. He graded out at 93 percent and recorded 18.5 knockdowns against the Boilermakers. One of just two seniors on a line which featured a new starting center last week, Henry helped the Deacon running backs accumulate 248 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. He also led a line which gave up no sacks on QB James MacPherson and allowed him to complete 9-of-12 passes with no interceptions.

Henry joins cornerback Eric King as Wake Forest's second ACC Player of the Week honoree in 2002.

The 2-2 Demon Deacons host Virginia this Saturday at Groves Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m.
