When Ryan Janvion signed with Wake Forest in 2012, the Deacs had an established head coach in Jim Grobe and a pretty decent track record for wins and bowls.
As he reflected on his career recently, the now-senior safety admitted, "I didn't really know what I had signed up for when I came to Wake Forest."
His first year ended up being the beginning of the end for Grobe, who stepped down after the 2013 season. Wake Forest struggled through one losing season after another, and when coach Dave Clawson arrived, attrition soon followed.
Suddenly, Janvion was put in an unusual position -- voted team captain as a redshirt sophomore in Year 1 under Clawson.
