On Wednesday, Liberty and Head Coach Jamey Chadwell added to its 2023 roster with thirteen new high school signees.  Before the day was over, the Flames added Quinton Cooley, a transfer running back from Wake Forest.

Cooley announced his intention to enter the transfer portal on December 6th.  As Wake Forest’s back, Cooley rushed for 215 yards and three touchdowns on 47 carries in 2022. He finishes his career as a Demon Deacon with 92 rushes, 371 yards and four scores over two seasons.

Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson announced earlier in the week that Cooley would be available for the team’s Gasparilla Bowl matchup against Missouri on Dec. 23. There has been no change in his status for the game at this point.
