Duke football joins powerhouses in Top-15 for North Carolina native

David Cutcliffe and the Duke football coaching staff will have their work cut out for them in trying to land a highly sought after recruit and a North Carolina native.

Diego Pounds, a three-star offensive lineman, narrowed his list of schools down to 15, which included the Duke Blue Devils.

Pounds also listed in-state schools such as North Carolina State and Appalachian State in his list but the Raleigh native also has some powerhouses programs in his final schools.

Those schools are Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Oregon, Florida, Penn State, Tennessee, Miami, Michigan, Louisville, Virginia Tech, and Georgia Tech all made the Top-15 for Diego Pounds.
