Duke Enshrines Eight into Hall of Fame

Anthony Dilweg etched his name into the Duke football records book during his time in Durham. The 1988 ACC Player of the Year and First Team All-ACC selection holds Duke’s career record for pass efficiency rating (128.94) and single-season records from 1988 for most passing yards (3,824), total offensive yards (3,713), pass attempts (484), touchdown passes (24) and 300-yard passing games (9). He finished his senior campaign, leading the ACC in both pass efficiency (134.6) and total offense (337.5 ypg), while ranking second nationally in both passing yards and total offense and fourth in touchdown passes. The Davey O’Brien Award finalist was also more than a quarterback, serving as the team’s starting punter for four seasons. In 199 career punts, he accumulated 7,889 punting yards (39.64). At the conclusion of his Blue Devil career, Dilweg played in the Japan Bowl in Tokyo, Japan, and the Hula Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he was named the offensive MVP after completing 12-of-17 (.706) passes for 145 yards with three touchdowns. He was selected in the third round of the 1989 NFL Draft as the 74th overall pick by the Green Bay Packers, where he played with the organization for two seasons (1989-90). He is the CEO of Dilweg, a real estate investment firm he founded in 1999 that is headquartered in Durham.
