Duke freshman DT Chadwicke Cannon brings size, production, and serious disruption potential
Chadwicke Cannon enters Duke as a 6-1, 275-280-pound freshman defensive tackle with a strong recruiting profile and real high-school production: in his 2025 senior season at Spruce Creek, he totaled 80 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, and 4 forced fumbles, and Duke listed him as a three-star prospect ranked by ESPN as the No. 53 DT nationally. He looks like a classic interior tone-setter—compact, powerful, and disruptive with a high motor—which is exactly the kind of lineman who can make life miserable for quarterbacks and guards alike.
