Head 20 minutes down Interstate-485 towards Independence High School and you’ll come to the home of Austin Duke. The only home Duke has known.
The Senior slot receiver for the Charlotte football program is a born and bred Queen City native. Duke’s playing career began when he was 7 years old with the Eastway Lions. But it wasn’t until his senior year of high school that Duke began to grab the attention of college coaches.
Blessed with incredible speed and a solid set of hands, the only thing holding Duke back from major colleges was his size.
