Wake Forest is being considered by an elite recruit.
Elysee Mbem-Bosse, one of best insider linebackers in the 2016 recruiting class, has listed Wake Forest in his top five schools. The list also includes Auburn, Southern California, Michigan, and North Carolina State. He recently dropped Alabama, Oregon, Ole Miss, and Notre Dame. The 6'2", 228-pound inside linebacker from Ellenwood, Georgia, is rated by Rivals as the 7th best inside linebacker in the country, and the 157th best player overall. He is a 4-star recruit. Needless to say, Wake Forest is competing for an elite prospect against elite programs.
