​Duke begins fall camp this week as the Blue Devils try to repeat as ACC champions after defeating Virginia in the conference title game last season, winning their first outright conference title since 1962.While another nine-win season in Manny Diaz’s third year in Durham is possible, the Blue Devils do have to replace quarterback Darian Mensah and leading wide receiver Cooper Barkate on offense, who both transferred to ACC rival Miami this offseason. The good news? Nate Sheppard is back at running back after a phenomenal freshman season in which he broke several Duke records.But what will the offense look like when it takes the field against Tulane on September 5? Here’s our predicted depth chart for the Blue Devils.QuarterbackStarter: Walker EgetBackup: Dan MahanThe Blue Devils were put in a tough position when Mensah decided to enter the transfer portal at the last minute, but Eget, a transfer from San Jose State, could be a reliable replacement.Running BackStarter: Nate SheppardBackup: CJ Campbell Jr., Wilhelm Daal IISheppard had offers from other programs after his solid freshman season but decided to stay in Durham. Look for him to do even better than his 1,132 yards and 11 touchdowns last season.Wide ReceiversStarters: Jared Richardson, Jaivon Solomon, Jayden MooreBackups: Kavon Simmons, Javen Nicholas, Jamien LittleBarkate leaving hurt the wide receiver room, but the addition of Richardson from Penn is a fine replacement. Tight EndStarter: Jeremiah HasleyBackup: Nate KuriskyThe only preseason All-ACC pick, Hasley will be even bigger of a target this season after putting up 40 catches for 454 yards and six touchdowns in 2025. Offensive LineStarters: Nick Le Grande (LT), Jordan Larsen (LG), Matt Craycraft (C), Bradley Smith (RG), Braden Miller (RT)Backups: Caleb Dorris, Micah Sahakian, Ryan Daly, Gemyel Allen, Cole AllenThis article originally appeared on Duke Wire: Predicting Duke’s 2026 offensive depth chart
