Donavon Greene News, Rumors, Updates - Wake Forest Demon Deacons

Five catches in defeat Greene reeled in 5 of 8 targets for 58 yards during Saturday's 31-24 loss to North Carolina.

Impact Greene's eight targets were the second-most he's seen this season. It's been an injury-riddled campaign for the wideout, and he's dealt with that along with poor quarterback play in a rather dysfunctional offense. Regardless of who the Demon Deacons elect to trot out as their starting quarterback next week, Greene should remain one of the top options downfield.

Hauls in 45-yard score Greene had one reception (on three targets) for 45 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 46-36 defeat versus California.

Impact Greene got in on the back-and-forth fun that was the shootout between the Demon Deacons and the Bears. In his first action since Week 5, it was good to see the wideout find the end zone once again, but this passing offense remains too un-trustworthy to count on Greene on a weekly basis, fantasy-wise.

Dressed to play Greene (undisclosed) is dressed to play and is partaking in warmups, Les Johns of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Greene was spotted partaking in warmups in-uniform. The wideout appears like he'll give it a go against California. He has 16 grabs for 271 yards and two scores this fall.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Could be available for Cal game Greene (undisclosed) could be available for Wake Forest's game Friday against California, Cam Lemons Debro of 247Sports reports.

Impact Wake Forest's head coach Dave Clawson said the team is hopeful that Greene will be available Friday. Having him back would be excellent news for the Demon Deacons, whose 2024 team benefited from him being one of their best wideouts before his long-term absence.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Still several weeks away Greene (undisclosed) is still several weeks away from returning, Cam Lemons Debro of 247Sports reports.

Impact Greene was reportedly 2-3 weeks away from returning as of last Tuesday. That timeline indicates he could make his return against California on Nov. 8, although nothing is certain yet for the wideout who hasn't played since Week 5. Greene has reeled in 16 grabs for 271 yards and two scores this fall.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive yet again Greene (hamstring) is out for Saturday's matchup against Clemson, Conor O'Neill of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Greene will miss his second straight matchup after missing out on Wake Forest's Week 6 matchup against NC State. The junior wide receiver's next chance to see the field will be next Saturday against UConn.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Not on depth chart for Week 7 Greene (undisclosed) is not on the depth chart for the Week 7 contest against Clemson, Les Johns of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Greene didn't play in the Week 6 matchup against NC State either, and chances are he won't be available for another ACC matchup, this time against a mighty Tigers team. Greene has 16 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns this season, so his absence will be a big one for the Demon Deacons. Expect Micah Mays, Nick Ragano and Christian Greene to be among the players who will get more looks if Greene ends up being ruled out for the second week in a row.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't play versus NC State Greene (undisclosed) didn't play in Wake Forest's win over NC State on Saturday, per Cam Lemons Debro of 247sports.com

Impact Greene reportedly didn't travel with the team ahead of Saturday's win. Even when he's been available however, Greene has played just a minor role on offense.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Remains uninvolved Greene gathered in their only target for nine yards during Saturday's 41-38 loss against Louisiana.

Impact After an extremely hot start to the season through two weeks, Greene has essentially disappeared for the Demon Deacons, as he has just two grabs for 33 yards the past two games combined. More concerning is the fact that he only has four targets in the past two games combined. Wake Forest's offense has struggled in recent weeks along with the rest of the team, but the sheer cliff Greene's production has fallen off is a little astounding at this juncture.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Extremely quiet in defeat Greene reeled in 1 of 3 targets for 24 yards during Saturday's 40-6 defeat against Mississippi.

Impact After two excellent weeks to start the season, Greene was bottled up during the Demon Deacons' blowout loss at the hands of Ole Miss. He was only targeted three times, which goes to show just how far from its game-plan Wake Forest was derailed against the Rebels. This was a particularly brutal defeat, but the top wideout in Winston-Salem should bounce back sooner rather than later.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Big receiving output in loss Greene had 11 catches for 166 yards and a score during Saturday's 31-30 defeat versus Virginia.

Impact Greene led the way for Wake Forest's receivers and was the favorite target of quarterback Hank Bachmeier. He also scored a touchdown in back-to-back weeks, a good sign that he'll continue to be a playmaker for this Wake Forest offense moving forward. He'll look to keep up his momentum against Mississippi State next week.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in Week 1 Greene hauled in 3 of 4 targets for 72 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 45-13 victory versus North Carolina A&T.

Impact Greene certainly made the most of his four targets. In a blowout win, no single Demon Deacon was really counted on to carry the offense, and so Greene figures to see more targets once Wake Forest begins to regularly play competitive games.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in Week 1 Greene hauled in 3 of 4 targets for 72 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 45-13 victory versus North Carolina A&T.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Thursday Greene (knee) will play Thursday against North Carolina A&T, but wide receiver Micah Mays will likely start, Les Johns of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Greene will luckily be active for Wake Forest's season opener, but he will likely not start to ease him back onto the field. The 6-foot-2 wide receiver has sat out two of the team's last four seasons, so his health has been a problem in the past and now.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Did not play in scrimmage Greene did not play during the team's scrimmage Thursday, Tony Siracusa of LastWordOnSports.com reports.

Impact Reports indicate Greene is dealing with an injury, although it is not considered season-threatening. Given the season-opener is right around the corner, the coaching staff might be overly cautious with their starting wide receiver. More news should surface in regards to his availability in the days leading up to their first matchup.

Participates in Monday practice Greene (knee) participated in Wake Forest's team practice Monday, Brian Hall of WFMY News 2 reports.

Impact Greene participating in Wake Forest's team practice Monday indicates he is healthy for the first time since around this period last year. Considering the redshirt junior sat out two of Wake Forest's last three seasons, it is safe to say his physical health has been a significant problem. But while healthy, Greene was excellent, proven with at least 500 receiving yards he logged during 2020 and 2022. Even with an offseason injury that forced him to sit out 2021, Greene recorded career highs the next year, during which he tallied 37 receptions for 642 yards and six touchdowns. So even with the preseason context of his 2023 injury, perhaps Greene can statistically improve again.

JULY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Staying put at Wake Forest Greene will remain at Wake Forest for the 2024 season, the team announced.

Impact Greene will be coming back to the Demon Deacons for a fourth season. The redshirt junior wide receiver did not record an offensive stat this season after missing out the year to a knee injury. In 2022, he totaled 37 receptions for 642 yards and six touchdowns.

Ready for fall camp Greene (undisclosed) has been cleared ahead of fall camp, Les Johns of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Greene missed all of the 2021 season due to an injury he suffered during the previous offseason, but it appears that issue has finally been resolved. He posted 29 catches for 582 yards and a pair of scores over eight games in 2020 and figures to be heavily involved in the passing attack again this season, assuming he can return to his previous form.

Impact Greene was expected to play a sizable role in the receiving corps in 2021. There was no word as to the nature of the injury that Greene suffered. Jaquarii Roberson, Taylor Morin, and A.T. Perry should see added targets this season. Greene will turn his focus to 2022.

Benefits from Surratt departure Greene is in line for more targets this season with Sage Surratt deciding to opt out, Conor O'Neill or the Winston-Salem Journal reports.

Impact Wake Forest runs one of the most up-tempo, high passing volume offenses in the nation, so getting to be the No.1 is a huge boon for Greene's value. Greene showed some promise as a freshman in 2019, catching 13 of 26 targets for 249 yards and two touchdowns.
