As Manny Diaz finds his next signal caller
After Duke’s fallout with previous quarterback Darian Mensah, who entered the portal at the last minute, Manny Diaz and company were in a real bind. Suing Mensah for breach of contract was probably critical as college sports moves to a pay-for-play world. Contract law is contract law and Duke appears to have a pretty good case.
However that works out, Mensah left Duke in the lurch and the Blue Devils need a new QB.
Well, they have one now: former San Jose State QB Walker Eget has apparently committed to Duke.
He had a decent year at San Jose State and will have the opportunity to play on a bigger stage. Can he pull it off?
We’ll find out. We will say this: history is full of guys who were decent quarterbacks of whom not much was expected and who turned out okay. Johnny Unitas was a 9th round pick. Tom Brady was a sixth round pick.
It happens in college too. We’ll see how Eget does, but we’re glad he’s a Blue Devil and let’s go Duke!
