Carlos Basham Jr. was one of the most disruptive defensive linemen in the ACC this past season, but the NFL won’t get its hands on the Wake Forest Demon Deacon quite yet.
On his personal Twitter account Saturday, Basham announced that he will be returning to Wake Forest for his senior season. A redshirt junior, Basham has one more season of eligibility remaining.
“Got a lot of work to do,” Basham wrote in his statement. “These boys on the team are going to make this a special season to remember.”

Suffice to say, the Wake program was pleased with the development.

This past season, Basham’s 10 sacks were third in the ACC and tied for 16th nationally. His 17 tackles for loss were second in the conference and, again, tied for 16th in the country.
For that effort, Basham earned first-team All-ACC honors.
