Interview – A Wide-Ranging Talk with Lee Rodio

We hope you enjoy an interview with Lee Rodio, a former Duke Football walk-on. During our talk, we cover Lee’s musical interests, the intersection of politics and sports, church, his future plans and the legal profession. Turns out Lee is in law school and that became a significant portion of our discussion. And because Lee was at the Duke-Miami game in 2015 as a high school student, we talked about that. Again. Thanks to Lee for his time and for his contribution to the program. We hope you enjoy.

Interview – An Outstanding Discussion with Carlos Wray

We hope you enjoy a long talk about Duke football with Blue Devil Alum Carlos Wray! Wray was part of a special class that went to four bowl games from 2012-2015 which culminated in a Pinstripe Bowl victory over Indiana in 2015. We discuss how he got to Duke, his time as a Blue Devil, the current state of the program and the 2015 Miami game. Consider this a warning if you’re not emotionally ready for that last part of it.

Duke Alumni Update – Max McCaffrey Joins Northern Colorado Staff

Max McCaffrey played at Duke during the Golden Era of the early 2010s. He came to Duke in 2012 was part of teams that went to the Belk Bowl, the Peach Bowl, the Sun Bowl and won the Pinstripe Bowl. In 2015, McCaffrey led Duke in receptions, receiving yards and TD catches.

While Max has spent time in the NFL, he didn’t get drafted and only recorded one catch for 4 yards. Max planned to play for the XFL and was drafted by the DC Defenders. While not the freak athlete his brother Christian is, Max always ran good routes and was a solid WR.

His famous father, Ed, must have taken note of this and added Max to his staff at Northern Colorado. We assume he’ll coach the WRs. Congrats, Max!
