About Morris Jr. Updated Aug 23, 2026

Nick Morris Jr. is Duke’s veteran linebacker bet with breakout upside

In the 2026 season, Nick Morris Jr. enters Duke as a 6-foot-3, 235-pound graduate-student linebacker with real production behind him and real questions about durability after missing most of 2024 and 2025 with injury. His 2023 season showed the ceiling: 61 tackles in 13 games, third on the team, and multiple reports frame him as a projected starter with high expectations. If he stays healthy, he brings experience, size, and downhill toughness — the kind of steady, physical presence that makes a defense feel older, faster, and a little more annoying in the best way.
