Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson will sign part of his ninth Demon Deacons recruiting class on Wednesday.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – National Signing Day, a day unlike any other on the calendar, is upon us.
Coach Dave Clawson and his football program's motto this year was to "Good to Great," and take Wake Forest football to the next level.
Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson was named the 2021 ACC Coach of the Year by the ACC and the Associated Press. Clawson is the seventh Wake Forest head coach to win the award. Others who won the award were Jim Grobe (2006), Bill Dooley (1992 and 1987), John Mackovic (1979), Cal Stool (1970), William Tate (1964) and Paul Amen (1959 and 1955). Additionally, Clawson was just named a finalist for the Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year award.
Wake Forest's 10-3 record this season marks the second time in program history that it has won double-digit games and Coach Clawson is now only head coach in NCAA history to win at least 10 games in a single season at four different Division I institutions.
Wake Forest is 15-2 at home since the start of the 2019 season. Additionally with a perfect 6-0 mark this season, the Deacs recorded their first undefeated home record for the first time since 1979 and just the third time since Wake Forest's 1970 ACC Championship team. Meanwhile, six home wins ties the program record that was set in 2019.
Wake Forest has won nine-straight games inside Truist Field which marks the longest home winning streak in program history. The streak dates back to the win over Campbell on Oct. 2, 2020.
Wake Forest is tied for 10th in the country to play at least nine bowl eligible teams entering the Championship Weekend of the season.
Wake Forest placed a program-record 15 players on the 2021 All-ACC Teams and ranks fifth among all FBS teams in scoring at 41.2 points per game.
Nationally after climbing into the top 10 of the Associated Press and Amway Coaches Poll this season, the Wake Forest football team achieved its highest ranking in the College Football Playoff Poll in school history when the first ranking was released on Nov. 2 as the Demon Deacons were tabbed as the No. 9 this week according to the CFP selection committee.
With that, the future of the program will continue to take shape as Wednesday, Dec. 15 marks the early National Signing Day for college football programs across the country.
The National Letters of Intent will begin arriving in Wake Forest's football offices early Wednesday morning. Coverage of all the signees with highlights and complete biographical information will be shared on social media and GoDeacs.com.
