The NCAA Transfer Portal has been quite kind to Duke football the last 24 hours.
In an Instagram post on Monday afternoon, Stanford offensive lineman Devery Hamilton confirmed that he would be swapping coasts on the gridiron after committing to the Blue Devils.

The 6-foot-7 tackle was a former four-star recruit out of Maryland and visited several schools out East. He picked Duke less than a day after the program landed another key transfer in ex-Clemson QB Chase Brice.
Hamilton leaves the Farm having redshirted last season following an injury four games into the 2019 campaign. He started six games the year prior, splitting time at both guard spots and at left tackle. The soon to be redshirt senior should have two years of eligibility left in Durham.
Looking at 2020, Hamilton has a good chance to start on a revamped offensive line. The Blue Devils recently brought in ex-Florida State assistant coach Greg Frey and have hit the transfer market quite a bit in recent weeks too. Head coach David Cutcliffe has to hope the moves pay off in a bounce-back campaign after going 5-7 in 2019.
Duke opens the 2020 season at home against Middle Tennessee State on Sept. 5.
