Elko's first season at Duke was marked by a number of improvements, including:

  • Offensive line
    Duke's offensive line ranked 12th among Power 5 schools for sacks allowed per game.


  • Turnaround
    Duke's 2022 record was a plus-six improvement from 2021, the second-best turnaround in ACC history.


  • Rankings
    Duke's scoring offense and defense moved from 102nd and 127th nationally to 31st in both categories.

Elko left Duke to become the head coach at Texas A&M in November 2023.
