Wake Forest's leading receiver, Sage Surratt, is out for the season, coach Dave Clawson said Tuesday.
Surratt appeared to hurt his shoulder late in a loss to Virginia Tech last week, but Clawson did not go into specifics on the injury, saying only it would require surgery.
Losing Surratt is a devastating blow to the No. 19 Demon Deacons, who have one of the top offenses in the ACC. Surratt leads the ACC and ranks No. 5 in the nation with 1,001 yards receiving and 11 touchdown receptions, and ranks second in the league with 66 receptions.
