12/31/20 - *Chris Rumph II, rJr/2021, Duke, 6-3, 237 (DS#12 OLB) + More +   2020 ALL-ACC FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM (COACHES/MEDIA): DE - Chris Rumph II, Duke, 95,...Rumph II, a 6-4, 235-pound redshirt junior from Gainesville, Fla., ranked second in the ACC in sacks and seventh in tackles for loss. He finished the year with 53 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 8.0 sacks, five quarterback hurries, one caused fumble, and one fumble recovery. His 8.0 sacks place him tied with Chris Combs (1996) for sixth all-time on Duke's single season chart. - Duke Football (DS#12 OLB) rJr/2021 OLB *Chris Rumph II, Duke News Source: Duke Football Share/Comment: Here

12/10/20 - Chance Lytle, rSr/2023, Duke, 6-6, 314 (DS#57 OG) + More +   Dorrell confirmed that left guard Chance Lytle, injured against Arizona, will miss the rest of the season. Dorrell declined to state the specifics of the injury. "He's looking forward to next year," Dorrell said. "I think there's been enough good tape that he's done that he should be confident that he can do some really positive things to help this team in the future." Lytle wasn't a starter at the beginning of the year, but moved into the lineup when center Colby Pursell was injured in the opener, prompting left guard Kary Kutsch to move to center. - Daily Camera (DS#57 OG) rSr/2023 OG Chance Lytle, Duke News Source: Daily Camera Share/Comment: Here

12/10/20 - Al Blades Jr., rSr/2024, Duke, 6-0, 194 (DS#51 CB) + More +   Per a source and later confirmed by the player, UM cornerback Al Blades Jr. will miss the remainder of the season (UNC, Georgia Tech, bowl game) because of a cardiac issue. He is expected to be able to play next season. Blades said he will miss a minimum of three months with myocarditis, discovered in an MRI on his heart after going through blood work as part of COVID protocols. He said he is "looking forward to returning to the field in 2021." The junior, who missed the Duke game, has 29 tackles, seven passes defended and two interceptions in eight games this season. Couch supplanted Blades atop the depth chart - opposite DJ Ivey - hours before two UM games were postponed due to COVID-19. Blades' absence will leave UM with four scholarship cornerbacks, as was the case against Duke: Couch, Ivey and freshmen Isaiah Dunson and Marcus Clark. - Miami Herald (DS#51 CB) rSr/2024 CB Al Blades Jr., Duke News Source: Miami Herald Share/Comment: Here

12/10/20 - John Taylor, rSr/2022, Duke, 6-1, 220 (DS#15 LS) + More +   2020 PATRICK MANNELLY AWARD SEMIFINALIST: John Taylor, Duke,...Taylor, a native of Snellville, Ga., has seen action in 34 career games and has played 192 snaps. The 6-2, 210-pound senior has been the primary short snapper for the Blue Devils the last three seasons and picked up long snapping duties in 2020 as well. This year, Taylor has teamed up with redshirt freshmen punter Porter Wilson and kicker Charlie Ham, who were both named earlier this week semifinalists for the Ray Guy and Lou Groza Awards, respectively. Wilson has booted 48 punts for 2,072 yards, averaging 43.17 yards per punt, while Ham has converted 13-of-15 field goal attempts. - Duke Football (DS#15 LS) rSr/2022 LS John Taylor, Duke News Source: Duke Football Share/Comment: Here

12/08/20 - Al Blades Jr., rSr/2024, Duke, 6-0, 194 (DS#51 CB) + More +   Miami defensive back Al Blades Jr. said Tuesday he will miss at least three months after being diagnosed with inflammation of the heart. Blades said the myocarditis diagnosis came after doctors were concerned about some bloodwork that came back while he was "going through some COVID protocols." Blades said doctors made the diagnosis after an MRI was performed. It's common for athletes to undergo cardiac exams after contracting the coronavirus as part of a return-to-play protocol — with myocarditis something that is often looked for in those additional tests. Miami has had several players, along with coach Manny Diaz, test positive for the virus in recent weeks. It had two games rescheduled because of those results and other complications related to contact tracing and possible exposure. - AP College Football (DS#51 CB) rSr/2024 CB Al Blades Jr., Duke News Source: AP College Football Share/Comment: Here

12/08/20 - Victor Dimukeje, Sr/2021, Duke, 6-2, 262 (DS#16 DE) + More +   2020 LOTT IMPACT TROPHY SEMIFINALIST: Victor Dimukeje, DE, Duke,...in 38 career games (38 starts), has 122 tackles, 24.5 TFL, 14.0 sacks, one INT, three caused fumbles, two fumble recoveries, two PBUs and 23 QB pressures...owns 24 games with 3+ tackles and eight outings with 5+ stops, including a career-high eight tackles against Wake Forest in 2019. - Duke Football (DS#16 DE) Sr/2021 DE Victor Dimukeje, Duke News Source: Duke Football Share/Comment: Here

12/08/20 - Porter Wilson, rSr/2024, Duke, 6-4, 231 (DS#5 P) + More +   2020 RAY GUY AWARD SEMIFINALIST: Porter Wilson, Duke,...A native of Fairlawn, Ohio, Wilson stepped into the starting role in 2020 after former All-ACC punter Austin Parker graduated. In his first year taking the reins, Wilson has booted 48 punts for 2,072 yards, averaging 43.17 yards per punt. He has impressively pinned 21 punts inside the 20-yard line and boasts 11 punts of 50-plus yards.

11/02/20 - Isaiah Fisher-Smith, Sr/2024, Duke, 5-10, 203 (DS#999 SS) + More +   NOV 2 ACC SPECIALIST OF THE WEEK: Isaiah Fisher-Smith, Duke, Fr., S, Greensboro, N.C.,...Blocked one punt and recovered a second, leading to 10 total points in the Blue Devils' 53-19 win over visiting Charlotte...With Duke leading 7-0 midway through the first quarter, blocked a punt that led to a field goal...With Duke leading 24-7 early in the third quarter, recovered a blocked punt at the Charlotte 5 to set up Deon Jackson's touchdown run on the next play. - ACC Football (DS#999 SS) Sr/2024 SS Isaiah Fisher-Smith, Duke News Source: ACC Football Share/Comment: Here

10/31/20 - Mataeo Durant, Sr/2022, Duke, 5-11, 196 (DS#34 RB) + More +   Mataeo Durant and Deon Jackson both scored on a pair of touchdown runs as Duke, aided by short scoring drives, defeated Charlotte 53-19 on Saturday night. Duke's Isaiah Fisher-Smith blocked two punts that set up quick scoring possessions for the Blue Devils (2-5), who won for the first time in three home games this season. Durant gained 104 yards on 12 carries and Jackson picked up 101 yards rushing on 10 attempts. Chase Brice completed 8 of 14 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown. None of Duke's scoring possessions took longer than eight plays, and five of those consisted of four or fewer plays. - AP College Football (DS#34 RB) Sr/2022 RB Mataeo Durant, Duke News Source: AP College Football Share/Comment: Here

10/26/20 - Mark Gilbert, rSr/2021, Duke, 6-0, 186 (DS#58 CB) + More +   Duke center Will Taylor will be out indefinitely due to surgery on his right knee. Taylor is scheduled to have the procedure Tuesday for an injury sustained in the Oct. 17 loss at North Carolina State. The redshirt junior took over as the starting center after Duke lost starter Jack Wohlabaugh to a preseason knee injury. The school also announced Monday that redshirt senior cornerback Mark Gilbert won't return this season as he begins preparing for the NFL draft. Gilbert started the first two games before needing surgery in September to remove a loose bone fragment in his right foot. Gilbert was an Associated Press all-Atlantic Conference first-team pick in 2017 before going down with a season-ending hip injury in 2018. He missed the 2019 season while recovering from that injury. Duke hosts Charlotte on Saturday in its lone nonconference game. - AP College Football (DS#58 CB) rSr/2021 CB Mark Gilbert, Duke News Source: AP College Football Share/Comment: Here

10/18/20 - Noah Gray, Sr/2021, Duke, 6-3, 240 (DS#6 TE) + More +   Duke quarterback Chase Brice has had an inconsistent season but he quickly learned one thing: throwing the ball to Noah Gray is never a bad decision. No Duke tight end has caught more passes than Gray. His second catch in Saturday's game against N.C. State moved him past Stan Crisson with 99 career receptions, the most by a tight end in school history. Crisson played in the early 1960s. No. 87 for the Blue Devils is dependable, reliable, consistent. The 6-4, 240-pound senior can mix it up along the line, getting key blocks. He can find the open areas in pass routes and has the sure hands, and he's a big target. Against Notre Dame in the opener, Gray lined up in the backfield at times. On one play, he shot a gap through the line after the snap and hauled in a nice sideline pass. Gray, a native of Leominster, Mass., was named one of Duke's co-captains for the 2020 season. That came after a 2019 season in which he caught 51 passes, was named second-team All-ACC and was a second team Walter Camp All-America selection. Gray led ACC tight ends in catches and was second among Power Five tight ends in grab in 2019. - Herald Sun (DS#6 TE) Sr/2021 TE Noah Gray, Duke News Source: Herald Sun Share/Comment: Here

10/17/20 - Deon Jackson, Sr/2021, Duke, 5-11, 218 (DS#26 RB) + More +   Duke's running back duo Deon Jackson and Mataeo Durant carried the game against Syracuse, both recording 150+ rushing yards. They became the first Blue Devils pair to rush for 150+ yards in a single game, and the first duo to rush for 100+ since three Duke players did so against Indiana five years ago. Jackson, who rushed for 169 yards, currently sits eighth in the ACC, averaging 82.40 yards per game. His total on Saturday ranks as the fourth most by a single rusher under Cutcliffe while Durant ranks as fifth (163 yards). "I feel like me and Deon are very much pretty similar, he's just a bigger back than I am. I feel like we have a lot of speed and we're both very powerful," Durant said. "We're just a great one-two punch overall-there's not a drop-off when he comes in or when I go in." - Herald Sun (DS#26 RB) Sr/2021 RB Deon Jackson, Duke News Source: Herald Sun Share/Comment: Here
