Wake Forest’s recent road game upset to Duke wasn’t just met with criticism. For one particular player, it also opened doors for fans taking things too far with death threats. In fact, things got so serious that the player was forced to come up with a plea on social media.
“The death threats need to stop !!

Demond accumulated just 58 rushing yards in the game without a touchdown. However, what drew massive ire were the two fumbles that were instrumental in ultimately handing Duke the 49-32 win.
