Anthony Jr.

Anthony Jr. (6’6"/258) started all four of his seasons at Duke, giving him over 1,700 career defensive snaps with a couple hundred more on special teams. He peaked at 7.5 sacks with 13 TFLs in 2025. His advanced numbers weren’t quite as impressive. He ranked 104th among EDGE defenders in pressures (32) and had a 33.3 percent missed tackle rate, which is one of the highest marks in the class. Antony Jr. has enough bend to turn the corner and chase down quarterbacks, but he’s a liability in the run game and tends to get manhandled if he doesn’t get by tackles on his first go. He will need a year on a practice squad to develop his power at the NFL level.

Anthony Jr. (6'5/232) is considered the 134th defensive lineman, 26th overall player in North Carolina and carries a .8506 player rating on the 247Sports composite board. He has 15 offers including overtures from Ole Miss, NC State, Indiana, Georgia Tech and Akron. Anthony Jr. is the first defensive lineman and 14th player to commit to Duke from their 2022 freshman class that currently ranks seventh in the ACC and 43rd nationally. When asked about his decision, he said “I love the coaching staff and the players,” he said. Duke felt like home with the support and comfort level coming from the coaches. I really believe they will take care of me and treat me like family.”
