College career

After playing high school football at East Lake in Tarpon Springs, Florida, Strnad committed to Wake Forest over Illinois, Iowa State, Marshall, Florida International and others who offered him scholarships.[1] Strnad redshirted his freshman year at Wake Forest, but then played in all 13 games his redshirt freshman year. He again played as a reserve linebacker his sophomore year, but led the Demon Deacons in special teams tackles and interceptions.[2] He moved up to a starting role as a junior, earning Honorable Mention all-ACC honors.[3] A torn bicep tendon, suffered against Florida State in October, ended his senior season.[4] Strnad registered two sacks and an interception in his shortened senior season; the interception was a key play late for Wake Forest in a 38–35 win over Utah State.[5] He was once again named Honorable Mention all-ACC for 2019.[6] Strnad garnered an invite to the 2020 Senior Bowl, but did not participate due to injury.[7]
