Duke Scott Earns Number One Jersey

NC State’s Duke Scott is set to wear the coveted number one jersey in 2026 — a rare honor reserved for elite work ethic and leadership. The first offensive player to earn it since 2018, Scott’s freshman season was stellar: 581 rushing yards, 5.5 yards per carry, and a breakout 196-yard game against Georgia Tech that earned him ACC Rookie and National Player of the Week nods. Off the field, he’s equally impressive — a 3.378 GPA, All-ACC Academic Football team selection, and a spot at the ACC Media Kickoff. Known for his freakish athleticism and strength, Scott’s been named to Bruce Feldman’s “Freaks” list, proving he’s not just a standout player, but a true embodiment of the number one jersey’s spirit.
