2020 BRONKO NAGURSKI TROPHY PRESEASON WATCH LIST: DE Carlos Basham, Wake Forest,...Basham is one of just five players in the ACC to make the Lott IMPACT Trophy, Bednarik Award and Nagurski Award watch lists. The Roanoke, Virginia native had an explosive 2019 campaign that saw him finish with a spot on the All-ACC first team. Basham posted 11.0 sacks, the second-most ever in program history. He also recorded 18.0 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles, both which ranked second in the ACC. Basham comes into the season with 18 consecutive games with a tackle for loss, the longest streak in the country. He is the only player in the country to have a streak longer than 12 games. - Wake Forest Football

2020 PRESEASON BILETNIKOFF AWARD WATCH LIST: Sage Surratt, Wake Forest,...During his sophomore campaign, Surratt recorded four games of 150 or more receiving yards. No other Wake Forest player has ever had more than two in a season or four in a career. Surratt had one of the most explosive receiving games in Wake Forest history when he went for 196 yards against Louisville. The game ranks third in the program's history just trailing John Henry Mills 230-yard performance against Duke in 1990 and Wayne Baumgardner's 271-yard outing against South Carolina in 1980. This season the Lincolnton, N.C. native will look to cement his place as one of the best wide receivers in ACC history. He comes into the season averaging 111.2 receiving yards per game, eighth best in conference history. Surratt also needs just 10 more career touchdowns to tie Ricky Proehl for the school record. - Wake Forest Football

2020 JOHN MACKEY AWARD PRESEASON WATCH LIST: Brandon Chapman, Wake Forest,...While working alongside 2019 Mackey Award Watch List member Jack Freudenthal last season, Chapman pulled in 11 receptions for 100 yards. This included a career-long 22-yard reception in the victory over NC State. The career long put the Deacs inside of the five-yard line and led to an eventual score. In his career, Chapman has suited up in 36 games for the Demon Deacons including all 13 games a season ago. - Wake Forest Football

2020 PRESEASON DAVEY O'BRIEN AWARD WATCH LIST: Hank Bachmeier, Boise State,...Bachmeier garnered attention right from the start in 2019, becoming the first Bronco true freshman to start a season opener at quarterback in Boise State's FBS Era (1996-present) when he took the reins last Aug. 31 at Florida State. In front of a hostile crowd in Tallahassee, and before a national television audience, Bachmeier put together a stunning debut in which he went 30-for-51 for 407 yards and a touchdown in Boise State's 36-31 victory over the Seminoles. The Murrieta, Calif., native would start all eight games in which he appeared, despite missing six due to injury. Bachmeier finished the season 7-1 as a starter, throwing for 1,879 yards and nine touchdowns while rushing for another score, and had multiple scoring tosses in three of his eight games. - Boise State Football

Quarterback Hank Bachmeier and running back George Holani were prized recruits in the Boise State football team's 2019 class, and neither has disappointed on the field. Injuries knocked Bachmeier out of the lineup a couple times last season, but he went 7-1 as the starter and completed 62.5 percent of his passes. Holani totaled 10 touchdowns (seven rushing) and racked up 1,014 yards on the ground, marking the 11th consecutive season the Broncos have produced a 1,000-yard rusher.

Expectations are high for both heading into their sophomore seasons, and this week, both landed on preseason watch lists. On Tuesday, Bachmeier was named to the Davey O'Brien Award watch list - given annually to the top quarterback in the country. He's one of two Mountain West quarterbacks on the list, joining Air Force's Donald Hammond III. - Idaho Statesman

Sophomore quarterback Hank Bachmeier was named to the Davey O'Brien Award Preseason Watch List, the Davey O'Brien Award Foundation announced Tuesday. The award honors the top collegiate quarterback in the country, and Tuesday's watch list comprises 30 individuals from all over the nation. Bachmeier is one of two candidates out of the Mountain West, along with Air Force's Donald Hammond III. Bachmeier garnered attention right from the start in 2019, becoming the first Bronco true freshman to start a season opener at quarterback in Boise State's FBS Era (1996-present) when he took the reins last Aug. 31 at Florida State.

06/12/20 - Matt James, rSr/2015, Wake Forest, 6-5, 211 (DS#115 WR) + More +

A former Wake Forest receiver will make history as the first black man to be featured as the lead for the TV show "The Bachelor." Matt James was named the franchise's star Friday morning. The show's 25th season will air in 2021 after the latest version of "The Bachelorette" airs this fall - it's been delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. James was a teammate and is friends with Tyler Cameron, a former Wake Forest football player who was runner-up on "The Bachelorette" last year. He spent time with Cameron and Hannah Brown, who was "The Bachelorette," during quarantine in the past few months. James was Wake Forest's third-leading receiver in his final season, which was 2014. He had 40 catches for 401 yards. He came to Wake Forest from Raleigh, a 2010 graduate of Sanderson High School. - Winston Salem Journal

"I know Jamie understands that he's playing at a higher level," said Anthony Timmons who coached Newman at Graham High School. "He's playing against more NFL caliber players for the opposition...This is going to be a challenge for him, but at the same time Jamie always rises to the occasion of challenges." Timmons described Newman while in high school as being able to stay calm under pressure and doesn't think that will change going from Wake Forest to a Georgia team that is now a perennial playoff contender. "I think he'll be even more calm," Timmons said. "Being this is his fifth-year in college, he's kind of that seasoned veteran. He's been in some hostile environments; he's played in some hostile games."

Newman became a starter after a few games into his freshman season and threw for 2,034 yards and 13 touchdowns while rushing for 750 yards and 12 touchdowns as a sophomore. He passed for 32 more touchdowns in his final two high school seasons while rushing for 17 more. Newman drew comparisons back then to Cam Newton, a player who Timmons looked up to and who starred in the state for the NFL's Carolina Panthers. "To me he's more of like a Donovan McNabb type guy," Timmons said. "His time at Syracuse and his time at the Eagles, he wasn't a 4.4 guy but he was able to run, he was able to move people, he was a stronger runner but could also throw but was a competitor and was tough." - Athens Daily Banner

05/23/20 - Jamie Newman, rSr/2021, Wake Forest, 6-3, 234 (DS#10 QB) + More +

Newman was a star at Wake Forest in the ACC, now he takes that show to the big stage at Georgia and the SEC. Newman threw for 2,868 yards and 26 touchdowns last year while also running for 574 yards and six touchdowns. While the competition level certainly gets elevated from the ACC to SEC, the talent he has around him makes the bigger leap going from Wake Forest to Georgia. The biggest concern is that his biggest passing games last season came against Elon, Utah State, Rice, NC State and Duke. Against Clemson, he was 6-for-14 for 41 yards and two interceptions. Newman needs to prove he can execute against the elite teams. - Opelika-Auburn News

05/20/20 - *Sage Surratt, rJr/2021, Wake Forest, 6-3, 209 (DS#24 WR) + More +

The cancellation of Wake Forest's spring football practices and shutdown of campus put Sage Surratt back in high school, at least in one sense. Surratt has spent a lot of time in Chapel Hill for the past couple of months, staying with his brother Chazz, a linebacker at North Carolina. Both Surratts were named to the All-ACC first-team last year - Sage at wide receiver, Chazz at linebacker. And so the Surratt brothers have gone back to pushing each other through workouts. "Just working out with him and getting better every day with him. Pushing each other, he pushes me, I push him," Sage said last month. "It's kinda like old times, I guess you could say."

Sage is coming off a season in which he had 66 catches for 1,001 yards and 11 touchdowns in only nine games. A shoulder injury in the fourth quarter at Virginia Tech cut his season short, and it's an injury from which he hasn't fully recovered. "I'm close though, I'm a lot better obviously than the last time y'all saw me," he said. Because the COVID-19 pandemic has seemingly affected all areas of everyday life, especially sports, it's played a factor in delaying Sage's rehab. "It was a little wrench. I had actually gotten back to school to do rehab after spring break. And I was there until everything got shut down completely," Sage said. "You've just gotta make the most of it. But our training staff, they've done an extremely good job of keeping everybody updated and working through this." - Winston Salem Journal

04/25/20 - Jamie Newman, rSr/2021, Wake Forest, 6-3, 234 (DS#10 QB) + More +

The NCAA Division I Council on Friday announced that it was delaying a vote on a potential one-time exemption for Division I transfers until 2021. In February, the NCAA Division I Council's Transfer Waiver Working Group announced it was considering the proposal, with the goal of adopting new legislation in time for the 2020-21 academic year. Student-athletes in football, men's and women's basketball, baseball and hockey would join their brethren in other sports and be able to transfer from one school to another without sitting out a year, provided they meet certain criteria.

The vote had been scheduled to take place this spring, but has been delayed until January due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Division I Council will consider whether to allow a one-time transfer waiver for student-athletes in all sports early next year. In addition, the Council voted to allow graduate transfers to work on a second undergraduate degree at their second school. Previously, graduate transfers had been required to enroll in graduate school. - Birmingham News
