WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Wake Forest quarterback Jamie Newman and safety Cameron Glenn received individual recognition for their efforts in Wake Forest's 27-23 win at No. 14 NC State on Thursday, Nov. 8.
Glenn was named the ACC Defensive Back of the Week while Newman was one of eight college quarterbacks named to the Manning Award Stars of the Week list.
Newman, a 6-4, 235-pound redshirt sophomore from Graham, N.C., made his first career start in Wake Forest's 27-23 win at No. 14 NC State. Newman completed 22 of 33 passes for 297 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. Most importantly, Newman took control of the Wake Forest offense at its own 20 with 1:39 to play in the game, trailing 23-20. Newman completed five of seven passes for 80 yards on the drive including a game-winning 32-yard scoring pass to tight end Jack Freudenthal. After starting the game one of four passing in the first quarter, Newman went 16 of 22 for 227 yards and three touchdowns in the second half.
Newman posted a 172.27 passing efficiency rating vs. NC State. It is the highest efficiency rating for a Wake Forest quarterback making his first career start since Norm Snead had a 203.33 rating in his first career start vs. Maryland in 1958.
Glenn, a 6-2, 205-pound senior safety from Stone Mountain, Ga. (Stephenson), had 11 tackles (seven solo, four assists) in Wake Forest's 27-23 win over No. 14 NC State.
Glenn, who had six career tackles for loss entering the game, had a career-best four TFLs vs. the Wolfpack. That ties as the most TFLs in a single game by an ACC player in 2018 and the most by any ACC player this past weekend. In addition, Glenn had his first career sack and two pass break-ups vs. the Wolfpack. Glenn helped Wake Forest's defense hold NC State to just 47 yards rushing, 103 yards below the Wolfpack's average in ACC games this season.
Wake Forest will host Pittsburgh at noon on Saturday, November 17 at BB&T Field.
