DURHAM, N.C. – Duke redshirt junior quarterback Thomas Sirk has stepped into the role of starter this season and has the Blue Devils off to a 2-1 start. Sirk is a dual threat signal caller who owns eight career passing touchdowns and 10 rushing scores.

He also tops the ACC with 22.00 completions per game. For his career, Sirk owns 10 rushing touchdowns, the sixth most by a Duke quarterback in program history.
