- Wake Forest faces major offensive-line turnover, with Clayton Richard the only returning starter and five newcomers added to rebuild the unit.
- Richard is expected to start at left guard, while Weber transfer Will Waye is the leading candidate at center.
- Tackle remains unsettled, with early enrollee Elliot DeMaine, Tola Olajide, and LSU transfer Callaway among the rotating options while George Stey misses spring.
- Cal transfer Landen Moore gives the offense an inline tight end who can help mitigate protection weaknesses as the new line develops.
