Former Duke football players Graham Barton, DeWayne Carter, Jacob Monk and Porter Wilson will represent the Blue Devil program this weekend at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind.

The event, which will gather more than 600 NFL personnel, including head coaches, general managers, scouts and medical staff representing all 32 teams, begins Thursday and extends through Sunday. Wilson will participate in the NFL Specialists Showcase as part of the NFL Combine, set to run Saturday through Monday. The player's schedule includes interviews with teams, psychological and medical testing and measurements before going through on-field workouts.
 
Live television coverage will be provided by NFL Network and NFL+ beginning Thursday at 3 p.m.

Barton, a 6-5, 314-pound Brentwood, Tenn., native started nine games for the Blue Devils at left tackle in 2023, helping the offense accumulate 2,174 rushing and 2,351 passing yards. He tallied a team-high five knockdown blocks against No. 9 Clemson and four against No. 4 Florida State. In addition, he did not relinquish a sack allowed against the Tigers and Seminoles and only allowed 11 total quarterback pressures on the season. Barton played a key role in Duke only losing 171 yards on the year, the fewest in the ACC. At the end of the season, he was named an American Football Coaches Association and Phil Steele Publications All-America selection and was a First Team All-ACC recipient.
 
Carter, a 6-3, 305-pound redshirt senior from Pickerington, Ohio, tallied 41 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, four quarterback hurries, four pass breakups, one blocked kick and one fumble recovery for a touchdown this past season. The first three-time team captain in program history was a key component as to why the Blue Devils relinquished just 247 points and 15 rushing touchdowns in 2023. Carter also helped the Duke defense hold 10-of-13 opponents to under 25 points, including four to under 10 points, while shutting out No. 9 Clemson, Lafayette and NC State in the second half. Carter was named a Phil Steele Publications All-America selection and was a First Team All-ACC recipient.
 
Monk, a 6-3, 320-pound Clayton, N.C., native earned All-ACC honors in 2023 for the third time in his career, after helping the offense accumulate 2,174 rushing and 2,351 passing yards. Additionally, he anchored a Blue Devil offensive line that ranked second in the ACC and tied for 31st nationally in tackles for loss allowed (4.77 per game), third in the league and tied for 24th nationally in sacks allowed (1.31 per game) and fourth in the conference and tied for 31st nationally in rushing touchdowns (26). This two-time team captain concluded his Blue Devil tenure with 3,777 snaps in 59 career games played.
 
Wilson, a 6-5, 231-pound punter from Akron, Ohio, was tabbed an All-America selection and a First Team All-ACC recipient last season after registering 54 total punts for 2,519 yards for an average of 46.65 yards per punt. He was the only punter in the ACC with more than 2,500 punting yards and 20-plus kicks inside the 20 with 20-plus boots of 50-plus yards. Wilson ranked first in the ACC and ninth nationally in punting, a mark that set Duke's program record for punting average in a single season and was a significant reason as to why Duke ranked second nationally in net punting (43.51). Additionally, he was named a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award and was selected to the "Ray's 8" list on three separate occasions last season, including being tabbed the punter of the week for week 10.

All four former Blue Devils will return to Durham in March to participate in Duke's annual Pro Day, which is set for Thursday, March 28th.
