Monk Selected Midseason Freshman All-American

Official Release

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke freshman offensive tackle Jacob Monk has been named to The Athletic's midseason freshman All-America team, announced by the website.

Monk had the unenviable task of starting against Alabama in his first career game, so he got thrown right into the fire as a true freshman. The right tackle survived that battle and has improved ever since for a Blue Devils' offensive line that has given up just one sack per game this season (tied for 10th nationally).

Over the last five games, he and the line have blocked for an offense that racked up 2,120 yards (990 rushing and 1,130 passing).
