With exactly a week until the 2019 season kicks off, Duke’s depth in its linebacking corps has taken a bit of a hit.
The football program announced Friday evening that Koby Quansah underwent surgery earlier in the day to stabilize a fractured right thumb. The senior linebacker suffered the injury during practice Thursday.
No timeline for a return has been given as Quansah is officially listed as out indefinitely.
During his time at Duke, Quansah has appeared in 35 games. In 10 appearances (two starts) during a 2018 season that included a broken foot, Quansah, whose official bio states he’s “[l]isted as the starting middle linebacker,” was credited with 38 tackles.
Earlier this summer camp, Quansah was named as one of the Blue Devils’ team captains.
