Wake Forest Demon Deacons coach Dave Clawson has been busy this spring, bringing in several transfers to bolster the team’s roster. Among these new additions is linebacker Branson Combs, who is set to make a significant impact on the field. Combs, a junior from Southern Illinois, has a strong track record and is eager to contribute to the Demon Deacons’ success.
Combs has played five seasons at Southern Illinois, where he has accumulated impressive stats. He has played in 49 games, recording 176 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and six interceptions. His career-high performance last season included 85 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, and two interceptions.
Combs announced his transfer to Wake Forest on December 10, 2023, and is expected to have a high-impact spot on the linebacker depth chart this fall. This will be his sixth season in college football, taking advantage of the additional year of eligibility granted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a transfer, Combs brings valuable experience and skills to the Demon Deacons. His ability to contribute immediately will be crucial for the team, particularly in the linebacker position. With his impressive career stats and strong performance last season, Combs is poised to make a significant impact on the field.
In an interview with Demon Deacon Digest, Combs expressed his excitement about joining the Wake Forest team and contributing to their success:”I’m really looking forward to being a part of the Wake Forest family and helping the team achieve its goals. I’m excited to learn from the coaches and my teammates, and I’m confident that my skills will be a valuable asset to the team.”
Branson Combs is an exciting addition to the Wake Forest roster, bringing a wealth of experience and talent to the linebacker position.
