Clemson commitment a ‘dream come true’ for Dukes

Clemson added a talented piece to its 2019 recruiting class on Saturday when Charleston (S.C.) First Baptist Church School running back Mikey Dukes pledged to the Tigers.

Dukes (5-11, 190) announced his commitment to Dabo Swinney’s program during a ceremony at First Baptist Gym, choosing Clemson over Syracuse as well as offers from South Carolina, East Carolina, Virginia Tech, Virginia and Wake Forest, among others.

The Clemson Insider was on hand for Dukes’ announcement and caught up with the standout in-state back afterward.

His commitment comes just a couple of weekends after he received an offer from Clemson while on an official visit to campus.
