In addition to losing two players last week, Mark Gilbert is now opting out of the remainder of the season.

He is going to prepare for the NFL draft and we all hope he makes it. I first saw this news from Stephen Wiseman, one of my favorite reporters. Gilbert opting out is unfortunate, but not unexpected. He’s been hurt for several years now, recently had surgery and can’t afford another injury. His time in Durham is limited and another injury would be devastating for his future. While we will miss Gilbert, we want nothing but the absolute best for him. The man is an absolute legend for overcoming his hip injury and getting back on a college football field.
Please join me in extending your best wishes to Mark Gilbert as he begins the next phase of his career. Go Duke!
