“according to Andre Dawkins biography on goduke.com”
Graduated in May of 2013 with a BA in African & African-American Studies and also attended Duke’s Divinity School.
Since graduating from Duke though Andre Dawkins hasn’t stopped talking about Duke Men’s Basketball!
Why?
Because he has a podcast called Dawkins on Duke!
Why?
Because Jeff Goodman who runs the whole Field Of 68 Network reached out to Andre Dawkins and said Hey, you want to do a podcast about Duke?’ And I was like, ‘I guess. Sure.’ So it kind of came out of nowhere. And that's actually a shout out to Jon [Scheyer]. Jeff reached out to Jon. And Jon gave him my name. So that's kind of how that came about. Jon put me on that and it's been a lot of fun.
