DURHAM, N.C. - Duke Athletics is proud to welcome back its distinguished Starting 11 members for an exclusive weekend on campus, celebrating their continued impact on football and the broader athletics community. This special gathering offers an opportunity to reconnect with the program, engage with student-athletes and coaches and experience firsthand the momentum building within Duke football.
The Starting 11 represents a select group of philanthropic leaders whose generosity and dedication are shaping the future of Duke Athletics. Created to honor and engage those whose commitment extends beyond the sidelines, this group plays a vital role in advancing Duke's tradition of competitive excellence, enriching the student-athlete experience and driving forward key initiatives across the department.

Throughout the weekend, Starting 11 members will enjoy behind-the-scenes football access, including exclusive conversations with athletics staff, private access to the Yoh Football Center, and VIP experiences surrounding the Blue Devils' game against Georgia Tech. This weekend is designed not only to celebrate their contributions but also to deepen their connection to the program's mission and future.
"We are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support of the Starting 11," said Nina King, Duke Vice President and King-Compton Families Director of Athletics. "Their impact is felt, not only within Duke Football, but across every corner of the department, and their partnership continues to elevate Duke's national profile in collegiate athletics."
