  • Wake Forest QB battle: Gio Lopez, Billy Johnson compete as Akron opener nears | Beatline Demon Deacons

    Wake Forest QB battle: Gio Lopez, Billy Johnson compete as Akron opener nears | Beatline Demon Deacons
    Aug 24 2026
    Wake Forest's quarterback competition between Gio Lopez and Billy Johnson is the hottest roster battle as the Demon Deacons prepare for Akron. With the season opener on September 3, the coaching staff must decide who leads the ACC's No. 1 ranked team. Joel and Renee break down the contenders, the offensive line shuffle, and the receiver depth.

    Gio Lopez, Billy Johnson, Grant Lawless, and Steele Pizzella are all vying for the starting job, but Lopez's mobility and Johnson's arm strength make it a toss-up. The offensive line features a logjam at tackle with Uber Ajongo, Ethan Calloway, and Devin McRae competing for starting spots. At receiver, Ny Carr and Wondame Davis Jr. lead a deep group that includes Kobe Adeleke-Hokes and Elijah Otieno.

    Joel predicts Lopez gets the nod for his dual-threat ability, but Johnson could take over if the offense struggles. Renee highlights the receiver battle as pivotal, with Carr and Davis separating from the pack. The Deacs also face roster cuts, and Joel sees tight end as the deepest group, while Renee worries about running back depth. Tune in for all the analysis ahead of the Akron opener.
