Expert Analysis
Alex Pallone | Prep Redzone Scout
Duke earns a nice rankings boost and the #1 QB ranking. Prior to the 2025 season, Duke was still a largely unproven QB with a lot of question marks surrounding his game. After an undefeated State Championship season, most of those questions have been answered.
Duke is not the most high-volume passer, but he’s been incredibly efficient with his opportunities. Consistently great decision-making, including an 81% passing, 3-TD, 0-INT mark against Cass Tech in the state championship. Duke consistently gets the ball out quickly and accurately, very rarely committing turnovers even against the most talented defenses. Additionally, Duke is far better in areas like pocket presence. Against Brother Rice, I watched him get pressured way more than usual, and Duke did a great job feeling that pressure, evading the pocket, and keeping his eyes downfield.
Duke has stepped up to the plate and delivered in his Junior season. He’s steady as they come, confident, coachable, and has the right intangibles. Looking like a G5 floor QB, which is a massive compliment.
