Duke’s explosive slot weapon and return-game spark
Hagans is the kind of athlete who changes field position and can punish defenses after the catch: in 2025 he opened with 17 catches for 238 yards and 4 touchdowns through five games, and his value extends well beyond receiving because he is also a dangerous kick returner with multiple long return scores in his Duke career. His profile is built on **speed, acceleration, and versatility** rather than size, making him a strong fit for a team that wants a quick, high-energy playmaker who can create explosive plays in space.[4][6][10][17]
