Interest picking up for 2014 OL
Junior offensive lineman Jake Duncan of Doylestown (Pa.) Central Bucks East has taken one ACC visit during the fall, and is looking to check out a few more schools when the opportunity arises.
"I saw a coach from Duke last week and I'm just getting the weekly letters from Pitt, Boston College and some other schools," said Duncan, who is 6-foot-3 and 260 pounds "That was the first time I saw Duke. Boston College has shown the most interest, then N.C. State and Pitt."

Recently, Duncan took a trip to Boston to check out the Eagles program.
"I like the campus and the city, but it's more of an arts school and a business school," said Duncan. "I'm looking to be an engineer when I graduate."
While he gathers more information about Boston College's scholastic side, he was impressed with what he saw during his visit for the Miami game.
"I was cool to see the on-field perspective during warm-up's and watching the players do some of the warm-up's that my team does," he said. "There was a tour before the game that went well also."
Since his visit to Boston College, there has been a coaching chance that Duncan gave his thoughts about.
"I think that Coach Addazio will make the team better," said Duncan, who had a chance to see the coach in action a few months ago. "I liked the Temple Camp that he held over the summer."
Besides the Temple Camp, Duncan also attended camps at Penn State and Lehigh during the summer. He hopes to attend a few more in 2013.
"I think I'm going to do more camps this summer, like maybe Rutgers or my friend wants me to go to Top Gun with him," said Duncan. "I also might go to the Delaware camp as well as Temple and Penn State again."
While his team did not have a fantastic season, Duncan was happy with how he performed personally.
"As a team we went 4-6, and I believe I had 28 tackles, like two pass deflections on defense, and I had some pancakes on offense," he said. "I played right tackle and guard on offense, and defensive tackle. My blocking, my pad height and my quickness and speed all improved."
