Corey Gattis offers Duke a local, versatile receiver with game-day toughness
Corey Gattis is best known as a Durham product who brought versatility to Duke as a wide receiver and return man, with game usage that included offensive snaps, a kickoff return, and situational receiving work in 2012. His value is less about eye-popping production and more about roster flexibility, local familiarity, and the kind of depth-piece reliability coaches can trust when injuries or matchup needs force lineup shuffling. At 5-11 and 158 pounds in recruiting listings, he projected more as a quick, lean athlete than a physical alpha target, so he fits best as a complementary piece rather than a featured No. 1 option.[1][4]
