Christian Beal, a 2017 all-purpose back out of East Forsyth High School, announced today on Twitter that he has verbally committed to play football for Wake Forest University. Beal is a 5'9", 180 pound all-purpose back, who chose Wake Forest over offers from Duke, East Carolina, and Old Dominion. He is the first Wake Forest commit in the 2017 recruiting class.
