DURHAM, N.C. – When Johnathan Lloyd toured Duke’s campus as a prospective student-athlete out of Southern Alamance High School, there was a track surrounding the field at Wallace Wade Stadium. A press box that had not been renovated in well over a decade loomed over one side of the stands. Now, as Lloyd’s senior campaign approaches, the Duke football program and the wide receiver from Graham, N.C., both have experienced tremendous growth.
During Lloyd’s tenure at Duke, the football field has been renovated and renamed Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium, Blue Devil Tower has been built to replace the Finch-Yeager Building that served as the press box and the program’s weight room has gone through extensive upgrades.
