Wake Forest’s Zach Gordon: A comeback story, not a current-depth-chart headline
Zach Gordon’s Wake Forest profile is defined less by box-score volume and more by resilience: he was once a top tight end recruit in Georgia, but a 2014 spinal injury caused temporary paralysis and ended his playing career, after which he became a student assistant coach and mentor figure. In the 2016 season, Wake Forest leaders and university features highlighted his response to adversity, academic focus, and desire to teach and coach—traits that translate into leadership, toughness, and character, even if he is not a current on-field TE option for your roster.
