A fourth Duke Blue Devil accepted his NFL Combine invite on Tuesday when the team announced punter Porter Wilson would participate in the showcase.
Wilson, a 6-foot-5 graduate student from Ohio, led the ACC with an average of 46.7 yards per punt last season. He averaged at least 50 yards in three separate games in 2023, including the season-opening upset of Clemson and the road game against eventual conference champion Florida State.
The Duke punter was named to the USA TODAY Sports All-American Second Team for the 2023 season, and he was a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award as the nation’s top punter.
He punted the ball 214 times across his four-year Blue Devils career, pinning 79 of them inside the 20 and averaging 44.4 yards per boot across his time in Durham.
