Wake Forest senior WR Michael Campanaro has been ruled out for the remainder of the game against Syracuse with a shoulder injury.

Michael Campanaro - WR - Demon Deacons

Wake Forest senior WR Michael Campanaro will play against Boston College on Friday despite a hamstring injury.

Campanaro missed time last season with a broken hand and has a longer injury history on top of that. When available he is the Demon Deacons' top offensive prospect. Be sure to watch linebacker Justin Jackson on defense, however.

Duran Lowe - DB - Demon Deacons

Wake Forest senior FS Duran Lowe has been dismissed from the team due to a violation of team rules.

Josh Harris - RB - Demon Deacons

The NCAA awarded Wake Forest senior RB Josh Harris an extra season of eligibility.

Harris was previously ruled ineligible for the 2013 season, but the NCAA appears to have had a change of heart. Wake Forest did not previously comment as to whether Harris' ineligibility was related to academics or injuries, but the latter was expected since the running back has dealt with his share of leg injuries and concussion-like symptoms.

Josh Harris - RB - Demon Deacons

Wake Forest senior RB Josh Harris has been ruled ineligible for the 2013 season.

The school asked the NCAA for a waiver to restore at least one more season of eligibility, but the request was not granted. The school could not comment on whether Harris' ineligibility was related to academics or injuries, but we expect the latter. The running back was forced to stay on the sideline for long stretches of game action in 2012 due to multiple leg injuries, as well as concussion-like symptoms.

Michael Campanaro - WR - Demon Deacons

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler ranks senior WR Michael Camapanaro as Wake Forest's top prospect.

"He isn't the biggest or the fastest, but Campanaro wins with his savvy routes and natural hands, setting up his moves well at all levels of the field to catch defenders off balance and create space with his short-area quickness," Brugler says of the senior receiver. Campanaro is used in a variety of ways but likely projects to an inside spot at the NFL level.

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.
