Rob Ezell is the offensive coordinator for Wake Forest football in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, a position he assumed before the 2025 season while also working with the program's quarterbacks. In his first year directing the offense, Wake Forest finished with nine wins and a Duke's Mayo Bowl victory. The Demon Deacons scored at least 30 points six times, averaged better than 28 points per game, and produced 27 plays of 30 yards or more, all figures identified in the source as the program's best marks since 2022. The passing game spread production across 11 different touchdown receivers, the most for Wake Forest since at least 1975, while the tight ends became a more visible part of the offense with 33 catches. The offensive line also showed major improvement, allowing 17 sacks after Wake Forest had surrendered 42 the year before, a jump from 125th nationally to a top-20 FBS ranking.
Wake Forest's offensive production in 2025 was reflected in individual recognition and notable career milestones. Running back Demond Claiborne earned second-team All-ACC honors, while Fa'alili Fa'amoe, George Sell, Devin Kylany and Chris Barnes received honorable mention recognition. Quarterback Robby Ashford posted the best late-season stretch of his career, throwing 14 touchdown passes over the final four games, and accounted for a career-high five touchdowns against Mississippi State in the Duke's Mayo Bowl. Claiborne moved to fourth on Wake Forest's career rushing list and became the school's leader among running backs in career rushing touchdowns in the College Football Era, while also passing AT Perry for the most total touchdowns in the CFP Era.
