In 2019, Brice was 50-of-85 for 581 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, and 94 rushing yards with one rushing touchdown.

Duke had an opening at quarterback after Quentin Harris completed his final year of eligibility in 2019 after serving as the backup to Daniel Jones for the previous three years.
Harris completed 58.5 percent of his passes last season with 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions to go along with seven more rushing touchdowns, but Duke missed the postseason for the first time since 2016 and just the second time since 2011 after posting a disappointing 5-7 season.
Chase Brice will most likely be the starting quarterback for the Duke Blue Devils from the moment he steps on campus as Duke opens up the season at home against the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders on September 5.
The only chance Brice would have to play his former team next season would be in a potential ACC Championship Game.
