The 2024 freshmen class for Duke football is officially on campus for the summer.
The team shared a short social media video celebrating move-in day for the signees. Just months after the hire of head coach Manny Diaz, the Blue Devils managed to drum up 16 freshmen in the incoming class. Seven of them already enrolled, according to 247Sports, with nine more on the way for summer and fall work.
Duke’s social media team even gave up the microphone at one point. Kobe Smith, a three-star edge rusher from Tennessee and the Blue Devils highest-rated signee in the class, got a brief moment with the camera.
“Having an amazing time,” Smith said about his first hours as a campus resident. “Let’s get it.”
Duke fans keeping an eye on the trail will also recognize wide receiver Chase Tyler and linebacker Montreze Smith, two more of the highest-rated prospects in the class, greeting their new coaches later in the video.
