In a major boost to their defensive front, Wake Forest University has announced the addition of defensive tacklewho transfers from East Carolina University (ECU). The 6-foot-4, 300-pound player known for his size and physicality, brings valuable experience and depth to the Demon Deacons’ defensive line for the upcoming season.
A standout for the Pirates during his time at ECU, played a pivotal role in their defense, consistently disrupting the opposing offensive lines. His ability to clog running lanes and pressure quarterbacks made him a key player in the ECU defense, and now Wake Forest is poised to benefit from his skill set.
“I’m excited for this new opportunity to contribute to Wake Forest’s defense,” Mims said. “The coaching staff, the program, and the culture here are all top-notch, and I can’t wait to get started and help the team succeed.”
Head Coach Dave Clawson expressed enthusiasm about the addition, emphasizing that Mims’ experience and presence in the trenches will complement the team’s defensive strategy. “CJ is a proven player who will immediately help fortify our defensive line. His leadership and ability to disrupt plays will be vital for us as we continue to build our defense,” Clawson remarked.
Mims joins a growing list of transfers who have chosen to bring their talents to Wake Forest, reinforcing the team’s commitment to remaining competitive in the ACC. His addition is expected to make an immediate impact, especially as the team looks to improve its defense in the 2024 season.
The Demon Deacons will look to Mims to be a key piece of their defensive scheme as they aim for a strong season in the highly competitive ACC. Fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close eye on the new-look defensive line as it takes shape with Mims now in the fold.
