Austin Proehl Made It Back For Senior Day

Posted Nov 19, 2017
On Sept. 25, Austin Proehl underwent surgery. His father Ricky, a former Wake Forest receiver who spent 17 years in the NFL, was among the first to greet him following the procedure. He asked Austin then if he planned on returning this season. There was never any doubt. "I told them, 'I want to come back,'" Austin said. "And they all looked at me kind of crazy." (GoHeels.com)
