The Duke football program missed out on what would've been a marquee victory to add to the resume early on in the 2025 season, falling to No. 11 Illinois 45-19 at home. It was a frustrating and disappointing game for the Blue Devils, but transfer wide receiver Andrel Anthony just put the entire nation on notice with his performance. After a fantastic game highlighted by an early "Catch of the Year" candidate, Anthony just established himself as a sleeper stud wide receiver on a national scale.
