Wake Forest will start transfer Robby Ashford at quarterback in Jake Dickert's coaching debut against Kennesaw State on Friday. Dickert announced Ashford's starting status Monday, following after a camp competition that featured another transfer in Deshawn Purdie.

The pieces are now in place for Week One of the Wake Forest football season. The starting quarterback has been named. The head coach has had his first game week press conference in Winston-Salem.
