a compact Duke back with upside as a versatile touch player
In the 2024 season, Duke’s Quran Boyd saw limited offense but flashed versatility: 7 career games, 8 rushing attempts for 16 yards, 1 catch for 1 yard, and 1 kickoff return for 10 yards, with 55 career snaps. His recruiting profile was stronger than his early college production, as Duke listed him as a three-star prospect and ESPN ranked him among the nation’s top athletes coming out of Kempsville. The care-and-feeding question is whether you want a depth back with speed, return value, and developmental room rather than a proven volume runner.
