Wake Forest has signed head coach Jake Dickert to a long-term contract extension, keeping a coach who had drawn interest from other programs in Winston-Salem. The school did not disclose the contract’s terms, but reports say it includes increased resources for the program and its coaching staff. Dickert has led the Demon Deacons to a 17-5 record since arriving in 2025; this season, Wake Forest is 8-1 and ranked No. 13 in the College Football Playoff rankings.
