Korey Duff Jr. may not truly have a true position right now, simply serving as an offensive weapon at St. Anthony’s, but he can do a little bit of everything, nonetheless. As Duff — a 6-foot-5, 205-pound three-star wide receiver/tight end from St. Anthony’s High in Melville, New York — visited...

Talking about receivers coach Salem at Pitt:
“He told me straight up he’s looking for a bigger wide receiver, more of a ‘go-get-it’ kind of wide receiver, and that’s what he sees me as,” Duff said. “And that’s what he’s looking for at Pitt.”
Duff likes to line up as that mismatch in the slot, using his massive frame (6-foot-5) to work over smaller, slower linebackers and safeties. It’s that Y-flex role, either as a wide receiver or tight end, that he’s used to. He may be that go-up-and-get-it kind of threat, but he’s also a threat with the ball in his hands, too.
As a junior at St. Anthony’s, Duff showcased an elite receiving ability. He hauled in 42 receptions for 995 yards (23.7 yards per reception) and 12 touchdowns — all team highs.
In a 6-foot-5, 205-pound frame, he was too big and too strong for anyone to stop him.
“I’d fit nicely, move around,” Duff said. “In the meetings with coach Underwood, coach Salem, they see me moving around and kinda fitting in both, and I think I could definitely see myself doing that in that offense.”
247Sports rates Duff as the 844th-ranked recruit in the class (28th-ranked tight end and the third-ranked recruit from New York) while On rates him as the 707th-ranked recruit in the class (33rd-ranked tight end and the seventh-ranked recruit from New York).
Rivals rates him as the fourth-ranked recruit from New York — holding a 5.6 Rivals Rating.
Duff (who holds offers from the likes of Arizona State, Coastal Carolina, Duke, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Maryland, North Carolina, Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple, Texas A&M, Tulane, UCF, Vanderbilt and West Virginia) has visits scheduled for Syracuse, Rutgers and UCF soon.
He doesn’t have a decision date in mind, but he does have officials locked in with Rutgers and North Carolina, and while he doesn’t have anything official with Pitt right now, it’s most definitely a possibility.
“I think a big plus for them is how they share the facilities with the Steelers, just being around coaches and being around players, I think that can be great for the whole program,” Duff said.
“Pitt’s always been more towards the top, just keeping that relationship with coach Salem, him coming to see me during those live periods at my school and talking to him, so they’ve always been toward the top.”
