DURHAM, N.C. — Duke quarterback Riley Leonard hit the transfer portal on Wednesday, indicating his departure from the Blue Devils.
He was a starter for two seasons.
The move comes just after days after Duke lost its head coach, Mike Elko, to Texas A&M.
Leonard immediately became one of — if not the — most talented quarterbacks in the football portal.
Leonard's 2023 season was cut short by ankle and foot injuries, but he helped lead the Blue Devils to a 4-0 start before being hurt on Duke's final offensive play of its 21-14 loss to Notre Dame.
He finished this season throwing for 1,102 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions in seven games. He also ran for 352 yards and four TDs. Last year, Leonard threw for 2,967 yards, 20 touchdowns, and six interceptions and he ran for 699 yards and 13 scores as Duke went 9-4.
