Dimukeje

Teammate Chris Rumph is the Duke pass-rusher most analysts have their eyes on, but Dimukeje is a player in his own right. Though Dimukeje (6'3/265) does have an advantage over a lot of players right now in that Duke has played three games, racking up 16 pressures thus far is still a testament to his consistent production. Dimukeje has converted four of those pressures into sacks so far, which is a pretty solid conversion rate if he can keep it up for the rest of the season.

“I had the relationship with them for a long time,” Dimukeje explained. “It wasn’t just the football. It was the academics. It’s a prestigious university, and I know that football doesn’t last forever. That degree means a lot.” The 6-foot-1, 254-pound native of Baltimore sided with the Blue Devils over Michigan State, Virginia Tech and Pitt. Scout.com ranks him as the No. 15 defensive end prospect in the East region. While he is undersized and will need to pack on bulk once he joins HC David Cutcliffe’s crew, Dimukeje already has the requisite motor.
