Tommy Bohanon - RB - Demon Deacons

Jets selected Wake Forest FB Tommy Bohanon with the No. 215 overall pick.

Bohanon (6-foot-1, 246) rushed only 50 times for 160 yards (3.20 YPC) and three touchdowns in four college seasons, but did catch 23 balls for 208 yards (9.0 YPR) and five scores as a senior. He ran 4.88 at the Combine. Though primarily a lead blocker, Bohanon has been described as "versatile, tough, and selfless" by ESPN Scouts Inc. draft analyst Kevin Weidl. He'll try to fare better than "The Terminator" John Conner, who lasted just two seasons with the Jets.

Tommy Bohanon - RB - Demon Deacons

Scouts Inc.'s Kevin Weidl says Wake Forest FB Tommy Bohanon is the type of player he wants on the back end of his roster.

"Versatile, tough and selfless," Weidl tweeted. The fullback position is sort of a dying breed in the NFL, with draftable players needing versatility to stick on a roster. Bohanon was able to show his skills at the Senior Bowl.

Nikita Whitlock - DL - Demon Deacons

ESPN's David Pollack tweeted that Wake Forest junior NT Nikita Whitlock is a "must watch player" in Thursday night's game against Clemson.

Pollack is calling the game and has likely heard Withlock's praises from the team's coaches. At a stout 5'9/260, the junior is a tree stump, but continues to hold his ground with leverage and a strong base. Pollack calls him a "wrecking ball."

Michael Campanaro - WR - Demon Deacons

Wake Forest senior WR Michael Campanaro may play Thursday against Clemson after missing the last two games while recovering from a broken hand.

Campanaro did not have to undergo surgery on the broken hand, but this recovery was a bit faster than initially planned. The target date has been next weekend's matchup with Boston College, and although the senior is not definitively playing Thursday, it does appear to be a possibility.

Merrill Noel - DB - Demon Deacons

Wake Forest has suspended sophomore CB Maerril Noel, junior S Daniel Mack, junior LB Mike Olson, junior G Frank Souza, freshman RB DeAndre Martin, and freshman WR Airyn Willis for Saturday's game against Maryland.

Per a school release, the six suspensions were due to a violation of team rules and the players will be eligible to be reinstated prior to the October 20 game against Virginia. Of the draft-eligible player, Noel is the best prospect, but he is unlikely to enter the draft this season since he is only a redshirt sophomore.

Michael Campanaro - WR - Demon Deacons

Wake Forest senior WR Michael Campanaro tweeted that his broken right hand will not require surgery.

Campanaro added that he may be back for the Clemson game on October 25, but he will "definitely" return for the following week's game against Boston College. The senior was on a tear this season, catching 38 passes for 429 yards and three touchdowns.

Michael Campanaro - WR - Demon Deacons

Wake Forest senior WR Michael Campanaro is out indefinitely after breaking his hand against Duke.

Campanaro was on a tear this season, catching 38 passes for 429 yards and three touchdowns, but he will miss at least a few weeks while recovering. When asked, head coach Jim Grobe was unsure whether surgery was required in order to speed up the recovery process.

Nikita Whitlock - DL - Demon Deacons

Wake Forest junior NT Nikita Whitlock will miss Saturday's game against Florida State with a sprained ankle.

Whitlock is one of the more interesting player to watch since his extremely short frame is so unique for the nose tackle position. Head coach Jim Grobe appears to be favoring freshman Taylor Harris for the starting role. Nikita is best with leverage and positioning, so without him the Demon Deacon defense could be in for a different look.

Michael Campanaro - WR - Demon Deacons

Michael Campanaro moves into the role of top receiver for the Demon Deacons.

Campanaro was a nice compliment to Chris Givens last season and he is unquestionably the top returning receiver for 2012 on an offensive unit that returns only three starters. His 73 receptions (833 yards, 2 TDs) last season placed fourth in the ACC. Versatile, the junior-to-be returned a punt for touchdown and threw a pair of TD passes.

Josh Harris - RB - Demon Deacons

Running back Josh Harris has not been bothered by the hamstring that prematurely ended his 2011 season.

Harris played only five games last season, including a 136-yard effort against Florida State, before the hamstring virtually shut him down. The Demon Deacons have only three other scholarship running backs on their roster, so it’s critical that Harris come out of the spring feeling good about his health.

Chris Givens - WR - Demon Deacons

Receiver Chris Givens had 191 receiving yards and a touchdown in a 31-10 win over Maryland.

Givens' 191 yards and 8 receptions are both season-highs for the junior wideout. He hooked up with quarterback Tanner Price for a 35-yard touchdown catch mid-way through the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach for the Deacons. Givens now has 1,208 yards and nine touchdowns on the season.

Josh Harris - RB - Demon Deacons

Wake Forest running back Josh Harris (hamstring) says he will play against Virginia Tech unless held back by coach Jim Grobe.

The Demon Deacons certainly hope that Harris will be available to play against the Hokies. All he did last season was rush for 241 yards, though Wake was thumped pretty good. Harris had his best game of this season last week against Florida State when he ran for 136 yards on only 13 carries. Senior Brandon Pendergrass would start should Harris not be cleared.

Josh Harris - RB - Demon Deacons

Josh Harris ran for 136 yards on only 13 carries in Wake Forest's 35-30 win over Florida State.

Harris previously has shown that he is more than capable of a big game. Lost in the shuffle of a 52-21 loss to Virginia Tech last season – though not lost on those who saw him perform that day – was Harris’ 241-yard rushing effort. The sophomore’s 136 yards against the ‘Noles was a season-high, a season in which he did not get much of anything going until today.

Josh Adams - RB - Demon Deacons

A week after rushing 20 times for 101 yards, Wake Forest running back Josh Adams saw just four carries for negative one yard against Navy.

Seriously? There couldn't be a more frustrating player to own in ACC circles than Adams. Josh Harris led the rushing attack with 14 rushes for 46 yards, and no Wake running back is worth a roster spot right now.

Devon Brown - WR - Demon Deacons

Wake Forest wide receiver Devon Brown caught ten passes for 59 yards and a touchdown against Navy.

A pathetic yards per catch, but Brown owners have to be thrilled. It was his first touchdown grab of the season, and he came in with just 13 catches on the season. His disappearance from the rushing attack is troubling, and Brown doesn't figure to get loose next week in Blacksburg. Still, he has too much potential to be dropped in ACC leagues.
