Luke

Masterson

Greer (6'0/202) had his 2019 season cut short due to a torn ACL, and he appeared to be making progress in his recovery ahead of this past weekend’s game at North Carolina. But he went down during the loss, and has now been ruled out for the remainder of the season. “I was so excited last week and he had a great week of practice and he looked like Nasir Greer again and I was so fired up and we are playing UNC and they have all these really good receivers..... He got out there and he got injured,” HC Dave Clawson said on Tuesday. In addition to Greer, Wake Forest could also be without DB Luke Masterson for Saturday’s game at Duke. Masterson wasn’t able to play against North Carolina, as he hadn’t fully recovered from a foot injury suffered earlier this season.

With the usual starter, Luke Masterson, sidelined due to injury the Demon Deacons have two possible options to fill the void. One is Rucker (6'1/205), a sophomore who started nine of the 13 games in which he appeared as a true freshman. And in Wake Forest’s most recent game, an October 2 demolition of Campbell, the sophomore safety amassed four total tackles (one solo). The other option at safety is freshman walk-on Nick Andersen, who has appeared in all three games this season and has amassed 13 total tackles (six solo) and one fumble recovery.

Masterson (6'2/220) started six games for the Demon Deacons in 2018, registering 52 tackles and four passes defended. Masterson started the first six games of this season as well, with five starts coming at rover and one at safety. he recorded 19 tackles, three TFL, three passes defended, one sack and one fumble recovery as he contributed in myriad ways for the Wake defense. Wake Forest takes on a reeling Florida State squad this weekend.
