9/21/2020 1:35:00 PM | Football
DURHAM, N.C. – Duke senior defensive end Victor Dimukeje earned ACC Co-Defensive Lineman Player of the Week honors following the Blue Devils' game last Saturday.
Â
Dimukeje's honor makes Duke's first weekly award recognition of the season.
The Baltimore, Md., native totaled 3.5 sacks for a loss of 22 yards against Boston College on Saturday. His 3.5 sacks in the contest tied teammate Chris Rumph II's record for the second-most in a single game in Duke history. In addition to his 3.5 sacks, he finished the game with six tackles and one forced fumble.
Currently, Dimukeje leads the ACC with 3.5 sacks and helps the Blue Devils rank third as a team with nine on the year.
Â
In 40 career games (40 starts), Dimukeje owns 17.5 sacks, placing him third all-time at Duke, and is just 4.5 sacks shy of tying Charles Bowser's school record (22.0). His 28 career tackles for loss sits just outside the top-10 in Blue Devil lore , with Joe Giles-Harris being tenth at 32.0. Dimukeje also holds 130 tackles and 24 quarterback hurries in his career.
Â
The ACC's other weekly honors included Miami's D'Eriq King (quarterback), Bubba Bolden (defensive back) and Jose Borregales (specialist); NC State's Ricky Person Jr. (running back) and Ikem Ekwonu (co-offensive lineman); Pittsburgh's Rashad Weaver (co-defensive lineman) and Cam Bright (linebacker); Boston College's Zay Flowers (receiver), Notre Dame's Robert Hainsey (co-offensive lineman) and Georgia Tech's Jahmyr Gibbs (rookie).
Â
The Blue Devils return to action Saturday at 4 p.m. when they travel to Virginia. The game will be televised live on the ACC Network.
