Cade Carney Named Wake Forest’s Starting Running Back for Season Opener Against Tulane

Coach Clawson confirmed a widely held belief during his radio show on Wednesday.

Coach Clawson confirmed on his radio show on Wednesday evening what many were thinking throughout fall camp, and that is that Cade Carney will be Wake Forest’s starting tailback against Tulane on September 1st. Carney, a true freshman, beat out redshirt freshman Rocky Reid and sophomore Matt Colburn, though they will all get carries.

Carney enrolled early, participated in offseason conditioning and spring practice, and clearly made the most of his opportunity in a brief period of time. Despite being just a true freshman, he has a very solid frame at 5’11”, 215-pounds.
