Coach David Cutcliffe said this: "First and foremost, our prayers and concerns are with Nancy Connette and her quest for good health. We thank Brandon for his many contributions to Duke University and our football program. We want nothing but the best for Brandon – both on the football field and off – and his personal situation is very close to our hearts. He’s been an integral part of our program over the past four years, and we wish him continued success going forward."
