Duke football has named its starting quarterback for the 2026 season.
Walker Eget was named as the Blue Devils' starter on Tuesday, Aug. 25. The sixth-year San José State transfer won the starting job over redshirt freshman Dan Mahan.
ESPN's Pete Thamel was first to report the news, with a source confirming it to the Fayetteville Observer.
Eget brings two years of starting experience after five seasons at San José State. The 6-foot-3, 235-pound signal-caller out of Santa Clarita, California, threw for 5,563 yards and 30 touchdowns in 18 starts. He was named as one of six ACC quarterbacks to the 2026 Manning Award Preseason Watch List on Monday, Aug. 24.
Eget tore his ACL during the 2024 season and underwent surgery following the 2025 campaign. He missed Duke's spring practices while recovering and was cleared in time for fall camp.
