Wake Forest linebacker DJ Taylor, right, catches the ball during a practice last fall. Taylor is one of the linebackers who has been a bright spot in spring practice this season.
Allison Lee Isley/JournalThe kicker position still gives Coach Dave Clawson cause for concern, with Wake Forest now two practices and a spring game away from finishing its spring football session.
But at linebacker, the Deacons’ other pressing concern, there are reasons for optimism.
“That unit … I think they understand the defense better, they’re playing faster, starting to make plays,” Clawson said Monday morning after Wake Forest finished its 12th spring football practice.
