Wake Forest Football: Will experience lead to big things in 2021?

The passing attack will lead the way for Wake Forest offense in 2021

Wake Forest football has slowly gotten better on offense each year under head coach Dave Clawson and the one that will be on the field in 2021 might be the best one yet.

The quarterback was a bit of a question mark heading into the season in 2020, with Jamie Newman transferring to Georgia, but Hartman answered all of the questions about him. Hartman threw for over 2,200 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Hartman only threw five interceptions, but most of them came in a dreadful performance in the bowl game against Wisconsin. If Hartman can forget his performance in the bowl game, I think he can have a really nice season and he is currently flying under the radar as far as ACC quarterbacks go.

There is a bit of a hole at running back after Kenneth Walker III transferred to Michigan State and the Demon Deacons are trying to replace his production. Christian Beal-Smith was the leading rusher for the team last season with 732 yards and he might have to carry an even bigger load this season. Look for Michigan transfer Christian Turner to factor in and get some carries as well.

The receiving corps should be one of the ACC’s best this season. The leading guy Jaquarii Roberson is in for a huge season after posting 62 catches and 926 yards and eight touchdowns.

Roberson is one of the best in the country and is in for a big season, but he is far from the only playmaker for the Demon Deacons. Donovan Greene is a big-time player and guys like Donald Stewart and Jahmal Banks are ready to break out. Keep an eye out for Illinois transfer Casey Washington to step in this season for depth. The entire offensive line returns and that should make this offense even more dangerous.
