Duke named center Matt Craycraft, tight end Jeremiah Hasley, cornerback Kyon Loud, linebacker Nick Morris Jr., defensive end Tyshon Reed Jr., and running back Nate Sheppard as captains for the Tulane opener.

Manny Diaz said Duke will use a mix of permanent and weekly captains this season to match the roster's leadership structure and empower younger players.

Duke's opener captain list included younger or less-established players such as third-year defensive end Tyshon Reed Jr., third-year Montana transfer Kyon Loud, and sophomore running back Nate Sheppard.
