Duke football: Blue Devils make final list for two Class of 2021 recruits
The Duke football program is looking to add even more firepower in its Class of 2021 recruiting class after the team made the final lists for two recruits.
There was more good news for David Cutcliffe and his Duke football staff on Tuesday morning as the program made the final list of schools for two Class of 2021 recruits.
Josh Moore, a safety from Marist School in Atlanta, Georgia, tweeted out his Top-6 that included Northwestern, Duke, Norte Dame, Stanford, Boston College, and Syracuse.
The 6-foot-2 defensive back is ranked as the No. 638 recruit in the junior class, the No. 44 safety, and the No. 50 player in the state of Georgia, according to the 247 Sports Composite Rankings.
The recruiting-based website also lists Moore’s Crystal Ball Prediction for him to land at Stanford.
