Wake Forest had plenty of potential this season in returning linebacker Eldrick Robinson II, but coach Dave Clawson announced that Robinson would miss the season because of an non-contact Achilles injury.

Robinson appeared in 4 games last season, and finished with 6 tackles. He was reportedly expected to be a solid contributor this season. The former Georgia Southern linebacker and Pensacola, Florida native redshirted last season after he appeared in 11 games and started 9 for the injury-depleted Eagles 2 seasons ago.

Robinson was expected to contribute at weakside linebacker for the Demon Deacons.

The redshirt sophomore missed most of last year with a right knee injury.
