    About our Wake Forest Demon Deacons Football news

    Latest news on Wake Forest Demon Deacons Football, providing comprehensive coverage of ACC football, the Deacs, Coach Jake Dickert, and Allegacy Stadium updates.

    Wake Forest University's football programme, established in 1888, competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) as one of its smallest yet most resilient members. The Demon Deacons play their home games at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium, a 31,500-capacity venue in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, under the leadership of newly appointed head coach Jake Dickert.

    The programme has shown remarkable growth in recent years, particularly following Dave Clawson's successful tenure (2014-2024) which saw the team achieve consistent bowl appearances and compete at the highest level of the ACC. The Deacons have maintained their competitive edge despite being the smallest school in any Power Five conference, demonstrating exceptional player development and strategic recruitment.

    Wake Forest's football culture is deeply embedded in North Carolina's sporting landscape, with passionate rivalries against Duke, NC State, and North Carolina forming part of the historic "Big Four" tradition. The team's spirit is embodied by the unique Demon Deacon mascot, while their distinctive old gold and black colours and "The Spirit of the Old Gold & Black" marching band create an unmistakable gameday atmosphere in Winston-Salem.

    The programme's history features notable achievements, including ACC championships in 1970 and 2006, and an impressive 11-6 bowl game record. Notable alumni include Brian Piccolo, whose inspiring story became the film "Brian's Song", Bill George, who entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and numerous NFL players who have made their mark in professional football.
