Wake Forest DL with Proven Tackling Pedigree and High-Motor Edge
Royce Francis, a 6-3, 240-pound strong-side defensive end from Acworth, GA, brings a blue-collar intensity to Wake Forest's front, highlighted by his high school dominance with 184 career tackles, 18 sacks, and 5 forced fumbles as a two-time all-region and All-Cobb County honoree. Enrolled at Wake Forest in 2018, his physical tools and relentless pursuit make him a differentiator against the run, ideal for teams needing versatile DL depth—watch for breakout potential if he bulks up and refines pass-rush moves.
