It was expected that his role would increase when Dixon entered the transfer portal, but that did not take place as Kobe Pace and Phil Mafah have carried the load at running back.

Dukes appeared in 10 games as a freshman in 2019 and eight games as a sophomore last season. He ends his Clemson career with 42 carries for 212 yards and two touchdowns.
