College career
[edit]Dukes played college football for the Lindsey Wilson Blue Raiders from 2017 to 2021.[1] He played in 49 games, starting in 45, where he threw for 10,439 yards and 114 touchdowns.[1] In the 2020–21 season, Dukes led the Blue Raiders to a national championship victory over the Northwestern Red Raiders.[1]
Professional career

Toronto Argonauts
[edit]On March 9, 2023, Dukes signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.[5] During the 2023 CFL season, Dukes acted as a backup for starter Chad Kelly and as a short yardage quarterback sneak specialist, scoring his first CFL rushing touchdown on July 3, 2023, against the BC Lions.[6][7] Dukes saw his first action leading the Argonauts offence on August 4, 2023, taking over for an injured Kelly in a 20–7 loss to the Calgary Stampeders.[8] Dukes dressed in all 18 regular season games, starting in two, where he completed 63 of 96 pass attempts for 760 yards with two touchdown passes and three interceptions.[9] He also had 35 carries for 126 yards and eight touchdowns, primarily in short-yardage situations.[9] He also dressed in the East Final loss to the Montreal Alouettes where he had two carries for two yards and one touchdown on his post-season debut.[9]
On May 7, 2024, Kelly was suspended for at least nine games after an investigation into allegations made against him and the Argonauts by a former strength and conditioning coach.[10] Consequently, Dukes was elevated to the starting role for 2024 that he won during training camp.[11]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
