Mauk committed to Wake Forest University on July 8, 2003. Mauk wasn't heavily recruited, as he only had two other FBS scholarship offers: Kent State and Bowling Green.
He was redshirted his first season, in 2003. In 2004, Ben played in ten games, while starting three. Against Clemson University, on his first collegiate snap, he set the record for longest touchdown pass in Wake history, at 85 yards. He led the Deacons to a 4-7 overall record and was named to The Sporting News's ACC All-Freshman Team. In 2005, he played in ten games, and started seven; the Deacons had another 4-7 season.
