As of Sunday afternoon, Cherokee County High School (Ala.) tight end Ben Moseley is on board with the Duke football program.

The 6-foot-5, 210-pound rising senior, a three-star prospect in the eyes of most recruiting sites, announced his pledge to the Blue Devils via the following post on social media:

He chose Duke over roughly two dozen other Division I suitors, including a couple more from the ACC in Georgia Tech and Wake Forest. The Blue Devils officially entered the fray with an offer of their own to Ben Moseley in April and hosted the promising talent on an official visit in June, roughly a month before his commitment.
