Wake Forest’s disruptive edge with NFL-caliber power
Boogie Basham was a force off the edge at Wake Forest, finishing his Demon Deacons career with 20.5 sacks, 35.5 tackles for loss, seven forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries across 42 games[8]. In the 2020 season, he posted 28 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, five sacks and a forced fumble, showcasing a heavy-handed, high-motor pass rush style that translates well to pressure packages[11]. His 9.38 RAS at Wake Forest underscores the athletic upside, and the stat sheet backs up the eye test: he’s built to wreck plays, not just occupy blocks[14].
