Post Spring Duke FB Depth Chart

Here is the post spring football depth chart from GoDuke.com.

 

Daniel Jones is the clear cut top QB on the Duke FB depth chart.  DURHAM, N.C. – Following his team’s 15 spring workouts, head coach David Cutcliffe released an updated Duke football depth chart Thursday. The Blue Devils wrapped up the spring practice period on Friday, April 20, and open the 2018 season Saturday, September 1, at home against Army West Point.

“We had really good competition between the offense and the defense,” Cutcliffe said of the 15 practices. “I think it made us better. It was a lot of give and take. We have a lot of competition at almost every position. This team is deeper than any team we've had. I certainly think it is the fastest team we’ve put on the field.”

Rising redshirt junior quarterback Daniel Jones returns for his third year under center. The Charlotte, N.C., product ended the 2017 season as the Quick Lane Bowl MVP and an ESPN ACC All-Bowl Team selection.

“He’s really matured,” Cutcliffe said of Jones. “I would say he dove into the spring. I mean, he has really put a lot of heart and soul into it. I’ve seen almost every area of his game improve.”

One position of exceptional depth for the offense this spring was the tight end group, with four returning letterwinners. Rising redshirt seniors Daniel Helm and Davis Koppenhaver anchor the group with rising sophomore Noah Gray and rising redshirt sophomore Mark Birmingham also experiencing action in 2017. Helm, Koppenhaver and Gray combined for seven scores, forming the only tight end trio in the ACC with multiple receiving touchdowns each.

“The thing that I think our tight ends bring is versatility within personnel groupings and what they can do,” Cutcliffe said. “I really am excited about what they accomplished this spring. They have made a lot more catches and have been really beneficial for us in the area of the passing game. I’m going to continue to see those guys grow more and more physical.”

Leading the way for the defense will be returning All-ACC selections Joe Giles-Harris and Mark Gilbert. Giles-Harris, a rising redshirt junior linebacker, was a 2017 All-America selection by the Walter Camp Foundation (second team), CBS Sports (third team) and Phil Steele (third team). Gilbert was the leading vote-getting cornerback in the All-ACC balloting and tied for third nationally with six interceptions.

“I'm excited for Mark,” Cutcliffe added. “You can tell he had a great winter. We spent a lot of time with all our winter lifting. He’s stronger.”
