2,523 miles. A 38-hour car ride. A five-hour and 45-minute flight. To most, those numbers have no meaning but to senior linebacker Ben Humphreys, they represent the distance from Duke University to his life in Newport Beach, Calif.

“My parents have been to 11 out of 12 games this year, which is ridiculous coming from where they live 2,200 miles away,” Humphreys commented.
