2025 Rush/Rec Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Claiborne is likely the best player on Wake Forest's offense, which should be music to fantasy managers' ears. The tailback is coming off a career year in which he ran for 1,049 yards and 11 touchdowns on 4.6 yards-per-carry, while also catching 23 passes for 254 yards and a score. He has elite speed and should be the offensive focal point in Winston-Salem this fall, even with a fresh regime in town in the form of new head coach Jake Dickert and offensive coordinator Rob Ezell. Wake Forest figures to rely on its running game plenty this season, which means a ton of carries for Claiborne, but also his returning backup, Tate Carney, are on tap. The Demon Deacons also have a solid, experienced offensive line this year. Ultimately, Claiborne should once again be a workhorse back in 2025 and has a chance to top the numbers from his career year last season. Read Past Outlooks
20 touches in loss
Claiborne tallied 12 rushes for 35 yards and one touchdown and hauled in 8 of 9 targets for 33 yards during Thursday's 34-24 defeat to North Carolina State.
ANALYSIS
Claiborne was held in check by NC State, but he handled a large enough workload to overcome his inefficiency. The tailback was the only Wake Forest player to catch more than three passes, and he doubled his previous career high (4) in receptions. Through three games, Claiborne has rushed 25 times for 247 yards and four touchdowns while adding 10 catches for 31 yards.
