Javon Harvey hasn’t been in Durham very long, but his new teammates already appreciate what he brings to the Duke football program.
During a Wednesday appearance on ACC Network, sophomore quarterback Grayson Loftis gave a glowing review of the Old Dominion transfer. He said Harvey’s explosiveness suits new offensive coordinator Jonathan Brewer’s high-speed offense well, but it’s his years of college experience that make him even more valuable as a teammate.
“(He’s) asking a lot of questions,” Loftis said. “He’s a vet, he’s been in college football for a long time, he’s got a lot of snaps. It’s nice having a guy like that who’s got a lot of experience…He’s a quarterback’s best friend.”
Harvey caught 70 passes between the last three seasons at Old Dominion, racking up 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns for his collegiate career. his most productive season came in 2022 when he amassed 558 yards and four scores on 30 receptions, averaging more than 18 yards per catch.
