Nicky Dalmolin is Duke’s steady, savvy tight end with proven red-zone juice
Dalmolin entered the 2026 season as a veteran Duke tight end with 46 career games, 26 starts, 65 catches, 647 yards and seven touchdowns, including a 100-yard, two-score breakout at Middle Tennessee in 2024.[2] His value goes beyond the box score: he’s a reliable chain-mover, strong red-zone target, and high-IQ player who earned Academic All-ACC honors and repeatedly found a role across multiple Duke coaching staffs.[2][5] If your team wants a polished, dependable TE who can block, catch, and stay composed in big moments, he’s the kind of glue guy coaches love.
