With Duke football's 2025 season kickoff just a week away, the Blue Devil faithful are itching for the team to take the field for the first time against Elon on August 28th. Manny Diaz and his crew are looking to build on a highly successful 2024 season where the program won at least nine games for just the fourth time in program history. With a mix of key veteran returners, transfer portal additions, and talented rookies, the Blue Devils are set to compete atop the ACC.

The defense is led by senior cornerback Chandler Rivers, who's regarded as one of the top returning secondary pieces in all of college football.
