Justin McMaster commits to Wake Forest

Wake Forest lost one recruit from the Philadelphia Union Academy for the fall but could be gaining another.

Forward Justin McMaster has committed to the ACC power for the fall, joining Union Academy and Bethlehem Steel FC teammate Mark McKenzie in the Demon Deacons potential 2017 recruiting class.

Defender Matthew Real previously committed to the North Carolina school, but signed a professional contract with Bethlehem Steel last month.

Both current Union homegrowns also backed out of college commitments. Auston Trusty signed a first team contract the week he was expected to report to North Carolina last August and Derrick Jones returned to to the academy in the fall of 2015 after backing out of a commitment to Rhode Island.
