Riley Skinner | PERSON

 

Riley Skinner (born October 21, 1986) is the current starting quarterback for the Wake Forest Demon Deacons football team, coached by Jim Grobe. He played high school football and basketball for The Bolles School in Jacksonville, Florida. Skinner stepped in for the injured Wake Forest QB Ben Mauk after Mauk injured his arm in the first game of the 2006 season against Syracuse. Riley proceeded to lead the Demon Deacons to a 10-2 regular season and the championship of the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference. He won 2nd-team all-conference honors as a redshirt freshman. Riley and the Demon Deacons won the 2006 ACC Championship game against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 9-6, giving the program its first conference championship since 1970. Riley also played well in the Orange Bowl, but the Deacons fell to Louisville 24-13.
