For the second day in a row, Duke football is the official beneficiary of a Power Five transfer.
Monday, it was Clemson quarterback Chase Brice formally joining David Cutcliffe‘s squad. A day later, the Duke football program announced that offensive lineman Devery Hamilton has signed a financial aid agreement to attend the institution and join the Blue Devils team.
Hamilton had announced on social media Monday that he would be joining the Duke football team.
It’s expected that Hamilton will graduate from Stanford in June of this year. He will then enroll at Duke the following month. As a graduate transfer, the lineman will be eligible to play for Duke football in 2020. The upcoming season will serve as his final season of eligibility.
A four-star 2016 signee, Hamilton was rated as the No. 25 offensive tackle in the country. He was also the No. 7 player at any position in the state of Maryland. Only four signees in Stanford’s class that year were rated higher than the Baltimore native.
Hamilton took a redshirt as a true freshman. The next three seasons, he played in 27 games total during his time on The Farm. He started 10 games for the Cardinal, including the first four of the 2019 season before being sidelined for the remainder of the year by injury.
