Also with freshman Paul Asack coming to Durham, he joins his older brother Zack Asack to give the Blue Devils three sets of brothers. The Duke Family Connection Senior tight end Tielor Robinson, along with his two fi rst cousins Cameron and Colin Jones, has signifi cant ties to the Duke football program. Robinson s uncles Cedric and Walter Jones enjoyed outstanding careers for the Blue Devils. Cedric Jones is the father of Cameron and Colin and played from 1978-81.

While with the Black Knights, Robinson rushed 114 times for 548 yards and fi ve touchdowns while catching 34 passes for 297 yards and two scores. He earned Conference USA Player of the Week honors after accounting for 193 all-purpose yards and fi ve TDs against Cincinnati in 2004.

Childhood Friends Forced to attend different high schools in Houston didn t alter the close-knit relationship between Vince Oghobaase and Michael Tauiliili. Friends since childhood, the pair journeyed together to Durham and will embark on their third season starting together on the Duke defense. Last season Oghobaase led the team with 4.5 sacks while Tauiliili paced the squad with 13 tackles for loss to go along with 108 total tackles. International Ties Along with the two players from Sweden on the Duke roster, Pontus Bondeson and Marcus Lind, the Blue Devils also are represented by Chris Rwabukamba and George Pearkes of Canada. Swedish Connection The Duke roster features two players Pontus Bondeson and Marcus Lind who hail from Sweden. Members of the recruiting class of 2006, Lind, who played one year of prep football at St. Aquinas High School in Florida, committed to the Blue Devils and then informed the Duke coaching staff about his fellow countryman. Both redshirt freshmen, Bondeson and Lind are expected to compete for playing time in on the offensive line.
