Josh Gattis brings veteran ball-hawk instincts and ACC pedigree to Wake Forest
In the 2006 season, Wake Forest safety Josh Gattis was a first-team All-ACC defender who paired 82 tackles with 5 interceptions, making him the kind of disruptive, instinctive back who changes field position and punishes mistakes. Earlier, in the 2005 season, he again posted 5 interceptions and 72 tackles, underscoring a consistent playmaking floor rather than a one-year spike. The appeal is clear: smart, physical, and proven against top ACC competition, with the résumé of a steady back-end anchor who reads the quarterback well and fits a defense that values reliability and turnovers.
