Duke safety Michael Carter II and center Will Taylor met with the media Tuesday morning to discuss a variety of subjects, including Duke’s upcoming visit to South Bend and the always formidable Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
Carter was recently named one of Duke’s five captains, along with Jack Wohlabaugh, Noah Gray, Deon Jackson and Chris Rumph II.
The captains are selected by the players. Their most visible responsibility is going to midfield for the pregame coin toss. But behind the scenes they’re a leadership group, a bridge between the players and the coaches.
COVID-19 has dropped a new responsibility on the captain’s collective laps.
