Duke has named San Jose State transfer Walker Eget its starting quarterback ahead of the Blue Devils' season opener against Tulane on Sept. 5, sources tell ESPN's Pete Thamel.
Duke making the move to Walker Eget as their starting quarterback is a significant development for the Blue Devils as they prepare to take on Tulane in their season opener. This decision likely signals a new direction for the team's offense, and fans will be eager to see how Eget performs in his new role. As a transfer from San Jose State, Eget brings experience and potentially a fresh perspective to the team.
