Duke football coach highlights wide receiver battle in preseason camp

Duke football coach Manny Diaz discussed the intense wide receiver competition as the team opened its 2026 preseason camp on August 7. Following significant roster changes, Duke seeks to fill gaps left by last season's departing leading receivers. The Blue Devils return just six receivers, with Jamien Little, Jayden Moore, and Jaivon Solomon among them. Moore is the only returner with previous catches, having finished last season with seven receptions. Transfers Jared Richardson and Javen Nicholas join the team, both expected to compete for starting roles, adding depth and experience as Duke aims to solidify its receiving corps this summer.
