Zach Stukes brought veteran juice to Wake Forest’s interior in 2006
In the 2006 season, Wake Forest defensive tackle Zach Stukes was a reliable, high-mileage interior presence, starting 12 of 14 games and leading Deacon defensive linemen with 42 tackles, plus 4 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and a pass breakup. He also showed some disruption upside, with a season-high seven tackles against Duke and a strong outing at Ole Miss. The fit is simple: if you want a tough, experienced DT who can hold the point and make a few plays in the backfield, Stukes looked like a steady lunch-pail anchor.
