Duke football’s group of official visitors over the next month grows ever-larger.
Offensive lineman Mark Handy, a three-star prospect from New Mexico, announced through social media on Wednesday that he’d take an official visit with the Blue Devils beginning on May 31.
Handy, a 6-foot-6 prospect who weights 310 pounds, is one of 247Sports’ top 40 interior offensive linemen in the Class of 2025. He plays for La Cueva High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
A quick look through Handy’s profile on X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter) shows a recent visit with Cal, a new member of the ACC for the 2024-25 calendar, and another with Baylor. He also has visits with Minnesota and Arkansas on his upcoming calendar.
Handy joins a roster of upcoming talent in Durham. The Devils Den’s Adam Rowe shared a list of prospects he confirmed will visit on May 31 with Handy, and a trio of 2025 prospects have already shared their plan to visit with the Blue Devils on June 7. The most recent member of that group, in-state wideout Nasir Newkirk, also announced his plan on Wednesday.
