DURHAM, N.C. – Duke redshirt sophomore linebacker Joe Giles-Harris picked up his fourth All-America accolade Friday, earning third team All-America honors by Phil Steele Publications, according to an announcement by the organization.

Giles-Harris has been tabbed a second team All-America by the Walter Camp Foundation and CBS Sports as well as an honorable mention selection by College Football News.

A first team All-ACC pick by the league’s coaches and Associated Press, Giles-Harris leads the Blue Devils in tackles (117) and tackles for loss (15.0) while adding 4.5 sacks, one interception, four pass breakups and seven quarterback pressures.

In 24 career games at Duke, Giles-Harris, the team’s 2017 Carmen Falcone MVP, has amassed 224 tackles, 24.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, two interceptions, one caused fumble, one fumble recovery and 11 quarterback pressures. The 6-2, 230-pound native of Nyack, N.Y., ranks 12th in career tackles for loss per game (1.02) and 14th in solo tackles for loss per game (0.88).

Giles-Harris is the sixth Blue Devil to receive Phil Steele All-America honors. The most recent selections were safety Jeremy Cash (first team) and center Matt Skura (fourth team) in 2015.

Duke kicks off against Northern Illinois on December 26 at 5:15 p.m. with the contest being televised live on ESPN. Tickets are available on GoDuke.com.
