The Blue Devils lost Tanner Stone and Casey Blaser up front in the offseason, but head coach David Cutcliffe's team will be getting some reinforcements along the offensive line.
Ohio State offensive lineman Evan Lisle will transfer to Duke as a graduate transfer, 247sports reported Saturday afternoon. A fourth-year junior, Lisle will have one year of eligibility in Durham.
A native of Centerville, Ohio, Lisle was a four-star prospect coming out of high school in the Class of 2013 but served as a backup for the Buckeyes and has had to deal with multiple injuries. But at 6-foot-6 and 308 pounds, he should have the skills to help the Blue Devils in both run blocking and pass protection as Duke looks to bounce back from this year's 4-8 campaign.
This is not the first time the Blue Devils and Buckeyes have been linked by transfers. Former Duke kicker Jack Willoughby finished his career in Columbus. Jeremy Cash also became a three-time All-American safety with the Blue Devils after transferring from Ohio State in 2011.
