Duke gets tackling machine from Archer

The Duke Blue Devils continue to make inroads in Georgia on signing day, and on Wednesday they got Dylan Singleton, a defensive back from Archer High, to sign a letter of intent.

Three things to know about Singleton:

1. Early commitment: Singleton, a tackling-machine, is following in his older brother's footsteps and will join current Blue Devils safety Deondre Singleton. Dylan committed to Duke in late August.

2. No. 1 tackler in school history: Singleton finished his career at Archer with 358 tackles and 10 interceptions. He is the Tigers' career-leading tackler.

3. Early in the lineup? "Dylan is a special football player," Archer coach Andy Dyer said. "He can play any position on the field. Dylan will make an instant impact at Duke."
