11. Duke Blue Devils

Coach Cutcliffe once again added a recruiting class without much hype, but will most likely produce key players in the mold of the ones he just lost. Cutcliffe has proven that Duke football can win, and that he is a good developer of talent if you find the right guys to fit your system.

With that being said the Blue Devils were able to snag super talented California linebacker Ben Humphreys, who should come in and immediately lead that defense in the huddle, and become at least a three year starter. The only question with him is durability as his size 6’3” 203 does not seem to fit with most of the offenses in the ACC who value the run in between the tackles. Humphreys needs to add weight, but the instincts are there, as is the talent.

Also of note is wide receiver Keyston Fuller, who is very similar to Jamison Crowder as a very small, ultra quick slot receiver with a chance to be a dynamic returner for the Blue Devils. Fuller is explosive with the ball and is a very tough kid who can take a beating over the middle of the field. Look for him to make one or two All ACC teams when all is said and done.

Overall the class has some talent and should definitely help rebuild some key positions where the Blue Devils lost depth.
