Duke’s versatile, tackle-breaking back with real pass-game value
Jay Hollingsworth’s best Duke season on record came in 2008, when the freshman led the Blue Devils with 399 rushing yards and added 25 catches for 188 yards, showing he could stay on the field as a runner, receiver, and kick-return option. Duke’s own roster notes describe him as a strong north-south runner, a dependable pass protector, and a legitimate receiving threat — the kind of back coaches trust in all situations. If you want a multipurpose RB who can handle dirty work and create hidden yards, he’s your guy.
