Offensive lineman Airon Servais has a knack for reading patterns—whether scanning a defensive formation before the snap or solving the Rubik's Cube in less than a minute. "I'm all about recognition and reaction, in football and in life," says the redshirt senior, brandishing a backward baseball cap and low ponytail.
The first recruit of the Dino Babers era, the 6-foot-6-inch, 291-pound tackle has proven himself a durable leader—a muscular combination of speed, grit and power. Servais' commitment to protecting his quarterback's blind side is vital to the team's up-tempo spread.
Duke found this out last fall, when Servais switched from center to left tackle.
