veteran Duke safety with limited game reps, solid size, and a dependable blue-collar profile
Cole Carteaux is a 6-foot-2, 210-pound Duke safety whose value is more profile-driven than stat-stuffed: he’s an experienced, academically polished veteran with a sturdy frame and a reputation as a steady, team-first defensive back. In his Duke career, he saw action in only a handful of games and recorded two tackles against Miami in 2021, so there isn’t a big production sample to judge by. What stands out is his reliability, size, and developmental upside rather than flashy splash plays—more “do-the-job, no-drama” than highlight machine. Good fit if you want depth, toughness, and a smart locker-room presence.
