3-star TE Vance Bolyard commits to Duke

Greensboro (N.C.) Northern Guilford three-star tight end Vance Bolyard has committed to Duke, announcing the news Monday.

The news comes on the heels of Bolyard’s official visit to Durham, N.C., this past weekend.

He is the No. 855 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

I’m extremely excited to announce I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at DUKE University!#dukegang #BleedBlue @CoachMikeElko @Coach_Dougherty @CoachEWfb @Chase_Cochran pic.twitter.com/d4YIJBqEzC

Bolyard currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $13.7k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

He is the eighth commit in the 2023 Blue Devils recruiting class.
