I hope some people appreciate what 12 lbs of muscle means for this kid. Too often these huge weight gains get tossed around like nothing but 12 lbs at his size and age is a HUGE deal.

Love Duke and his work ethic. I think with some of these guys the staff is bringing in will catch on and inherit his attitude and work ethic as well.
 
Duke is a class act. You don't see many kids as talented as him so humble and such a team guy. This is what we have missed for many years now. We are watching another hurricanes legend.

I'm hoping he rubs off on Stacey Coley. He's our most talented WR the moment he steps on the field, just has to put in Duke Work.

That stiff arm is going to be lethal this year.

Duke is not just great for Us...but also great for the whole game of football......I love his dedication
 
Wonder if he'll put on a few more pounds over the summer or if he feels he's made enough of a weight gain for now. I suspect he'll leave here 205+.
