Nick Tabacca, who has transformed Wake Forest’s offensive line room and helped offensive coordinator Warren Ruggiero run the most prolific offenses in Wake Forest history during their transformational tenure in Winston-Salem, is set for his 11th season as the Deacons offensive line coach in 2024. Additionally, Tabacca was recently promoted to Assistant Head Coach for Offense following spring football.
Tabacca, Ruggiero, head coach Dave Clawson and the entire offensive staff have engineered an attack that has rewritten the record books at Wake Forest. The Deacons have set nearly 400 school records including marks for points scored, points per game, total offensive yards, first downs and passing yards since 2017. Also, the Deacs were the only football program in the ACC to average at least 30 points per game each year from 2017-22. That run ranked as the fourth longest in ACC history.
The improvement in Wake Forest’s rushing attack under Tabacca’s leadership on the o-line has been astounding, as the Deacs have rushed for more than 2,000 yards in four of the past seven seasons. Additionally, Wake Forest accomplished that streak in three-straight years from 2017-19 marking the first time that has happened since 1994-96.
Overall since 2017, Wake Forest has rushed for 145 touchdowns and that total is one of the most productive seven-year stretches in program history. Those 131 scores on the ground ranks tied for 64th in the FBS during that span and sits sixth in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Meanwhile since the start of the 2017 season, Wake Forest’s 199 touchdown passes are the most of any school in the ACC and that total ranks 12th nationally during that span. Additionally during that span, the Deacs 362 total touchdowns are the third-most in the ACC behind Clemson and North Carolina while ranking 20th nationally.
Those touchdowns have led Wake Forest to total 2,910 points over the past seven seasons and average 33.5 ppg. Both those marks rank second in the ACC behind Clemson as well, respectively. All the totals are the most of any seven-year period in school history.
Specifically in 2021, Wake Forest scored a program-best 574 points and averaged a school-record 41.0 ppg. That point total ranks 43rd in modern FBS history and the fourth-most in ACC history. Additionally, Wake Forest became just the 20th ACC team in the college football modern era (Post-WWII) to cross over the milestone of 500 points scored in a single season. Individually, the Deacons topped 35 points in a game 12 times during the 2021 campaign. In the College Football Playoff Era, Wake Forest was one of seven teams (2014 Oregon, 2018 Alabama, 2018 Oklahoma, 2019 Alabama, 2019 LSU, 2020 Alabama) to accomplish that feat.
Wake Forest’s 1,367 points scored during the 2020-22 period is the highest-scoring three-year period in Deacon history. Additionally, Wake Forest scored 1,043 points across the 20211 and 2022 seasons combined.
A key to the Deacs scoring success has been the numbers that they have put up through the air in the last two seasons. As Tabacca’s offensive line has provided time for two-time (2021, 2022) All-ACC QB Sam Hartman to sling the ball, Wake Forest is one of six schools to throw for more than 8,000 yards in that time and nearly 600 yards more than any other ACC team. Additionally, the Demon Deacons have found the endzone through the air 21 more times than any other ACC team since the start of the 2021 season and their 82 passing touchdowns are the third most in the country.
Phil Steele All-American Michael Jurgens, who was recently selected 230th overall by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2024 NFL Draft, led the way for the Demon Deacons up front as Tabacca was integral in his development after moving from center to guard. Jurgens, who was named a William V. Campbell Trophy Semifinalist for the second-consecutive season, graded out as the highest-graded Power-5 interior lineman according to Pro Football Focus with a grade of 83.7. Jurgens was also a consensus All-ACC selection.
Individually in 2022 on the offensive line, Tabacca tutored Sean Maginn to Second Team All-ACC honors, while DeVonte Gordon, Loic Ngassam Nya and Michael Jurgens all received honorable mention recognition from the voters. In addition for Jurgens, the Damascus, Md. native was a 2022 William V. Campbell Trophy Semifinalist as he graded out at 91% this season and has recorded 29 pancakes.
Jurgens is a Demon Deacon graduate with distinction in Mathematical Business and completed his MBA in the Wake Forest School of Business in the Spring 2023. He is a five-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Honor Roll member and 2021 All-ACC Academic Team honoree.
Not to be outdone, Tabacca tutored 2021 NFL Draft Pick (4th Round, Green Bay Packers) Zach Tom to First Team All-ACC and All-America honors a season ago in 2021. Additionally, Tom was a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy.
Additionally in 2021, Maginn earned Third Team All-ACC accolades, while Ngassam Nya and Jurgens garnered honorable mention recognition by the league. Finally from that historic season two years ago, Tabacca coached then-redshirt freshman Gordon to a stellar rookie campaign that was recognized by him being placed on the Sean Alexander Freshman of the Year Watch List and as a member of the All-Freshman Team by Maxwell Football at the end of the season.
With four student-athletes earning All-ACC honors in 2022, this marked the third time in four years (2019) that Tabacca has had four players achieve that recognition in the same season. These are the only three times in program history that this has been achieved.
Tabacca came to Wake Forest following a two-year stint at his alma mater, Ball State. He was the Cardinals offensive line coach and run game coordinator. Additionally, Tabacca served as the offensive line coach at Butler (2010-11), Defiance College (2007-09) and was a graduate assistant at Ball State (2005-06) following his playing career.
Tabacca is a 2004 graduate of Ball State and a four-year letterman for the Cardinals on the offensive line. He started 33 games in his final three seasons and was a two-time Academic All-Mid-American Conference selection, while also serving as team captain as a senior.
A native of Columbus, Ohio, Tabacca is a graduate of Hilliard Davidson High School. He and wife Alyssa have five children -- Sophia, Lucas, Lily, Grace and William.
