The Duke Blue Devils are far from the top of the recruiting food chain. However, head coach Manny Diaz just poached a three-star prospect from the Kentucky Wildcats and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, despite both programs being significantly closer to the recruit's home.
Three-star tight end Ben Moseley committed to the Blue Devils, choosing Duke over the Wildcats and Yellow Jackets even though both On3 and 247Sports gave the southern programs an edge to earn his commitment.
Moseley is a big-time get for Diaz and the Blue Devils, both figuratively and literally. In the class of 2026, Diaz already landed three-star quarterback Terry Walker III, who continues to climb up industry rankings as his senior season approaches.
