One could say a peach currently symbolizes the Duke 2015 recruiting class.
The commitment of 2015 four-star wide receiver Keyston Fuller brings the Blue Devils' total number of commitments to 13, with almost half of those coming from the state of Georgia.
Fuller announced on Twitter that he would be taking his talents to Durham after visiting campus this past weekend. The Griffin, Ga. native held notable offers from South Carolina, Mississippi State,Clemson, Auburn and Georgia, according to 247sports.com.
Fuller is classified as a four-star recruit on the ESPN 300 list.
He becomes the fourth wide receiver to verbally commit to head coach David Cutcliffe's 2015 recruiting class, along with Flynn Nagel, Aaron Young and T.J. Rahming. This incoming class will replace wide receivers Jamison Crowder, Isaac Blakeney and tight-end, wide receiver combo Braxton Deaver.
Fuller's commitment affirms an impressive recruiting outing for Duke in the state of Georgia. Fuller became the sixth player in the state to verbally commit to becoming a Blue Devil, along with Rahming, defensive back Jordan Hayes and defensive tackles Trevon McSwain, Zach Morris and Marquies Price.
The University of Georgia only has one more 2015 recruit than Duke to date, according to ESPN. The Blue Devils' success in the Peach State was undoubtably affected by the team's impressive showing in this past year's Chick-Fil-A Bowl in Atlanta.
With 13 verbal commitments to the Class of 2015, Duke currently sits at 28 in 247Sports' latest national recruiting rankings and sixth in the site's ACC rankings behind Florida State, Miami, Clemson, Boston College and North Carolina.
The Blue Devils could reap more benefits from the state of Georgia with a commitment from four-star defensive back, Rashad Roundtree, who is interested in Duke and attended camp in Durham two weekends ago.
