Duke’s veteran, physical TE with old-school grit
Jack Farrell brings a bruising, versatile tight end profile that Duke has long valued: he’s been described by the program as one of the team’s most physical TEs and a player who can line up in multiple spots, which makes him useful beyond the box score[1][13]. His Duke background also suggests a reliable, high-IQ fit—someone who can help in the run game, absorb contact, and do the dirty work that coaches love, even if his production history is modest[1].
