Wake Forest is giving Gio Lopez a breath of 'fresh air'

Posted Apr 23, 2026
Just 80 miles away from UNC after transferring to Wake Forest, quarterback Gio Lopez is a world apart from the ghosts of last season. He's making considerably less, but he's dancing in the weight room, juking defenders on the practice field, and beaming in front of cameras. He's where he's supposed to be. "Back at the other school, it felt like there's no air." (ESPN)
