The team's depth chart released Tuesday listed Stachitas as the starter ahead of freshman Tanner Price, who started the last two games on the road but was knocked out in the third quarter of the Florida State loss with a concussion. Coach Jim Grobe called Price doubtful for this week's game against Georgia Tech.
Grobe added that Stachitas has been limited in practice by sore ribs, an injury he suffered against the Seminoles. He said it appears his ribs are bruised, and doctors haven't found any fractures.
Still, Grobe admitted it's "a possibility" that the Demon Deacons could be without both Stachitas and Price. If so, either redshirt freshman Brendan Cross or redshirt junior Skylar Jones would make his first career start.
Stachitas started the Demon Deacons' wins against Presbyterian and Duke but bruised his non-throwing hand against the Blue Devils. Price relieved him and started the team's losses at Stanford and Florida State.
Stachitas is a dual-threat quarterback who leads the team in rushing, averaging 41 yards per game, and has rushed for two touchdowns. He has completed 12 of 22 passes for 131 yards for Wake Forest (2-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference).
