The Duke Brotherhood has always been more than a slogan — it’s a living, breathing network that continues to shape careers long after players leave Cameron Indoor. This week, that bond was on full display as former Blue Devil Josh Hairston returned to Durham, now in his role as a rising power player at Klutch Sports Group.
Hairston, who suited up for Duke from 2010 to 2014, carved out his reputation as a hard-nosed forward who did all the little things to help the Blue Devils win. But his journey didn’t stop once he hung up the jersey. Transitioning from the court to the business side of basketball, Hairston has steadily risen through the ranks at Klutch, one of the most influential agencies in professional sports.
Now, he’s not just representing players — he’s shaping careers and helping guide some of the game’s brightest stars. His return to Duke alongside current staff and players was a powerful reminder of how the Brotherhood extends beyond basketball, into every facet of the game and beyond.
“Once a Blue Devil, always a Blue Devil” isn’t just a catchphrase — it’s a reality that players like Hairston embody. Whether it’s reconnecting with old teammates, mentoring the next generation, or opening doors in the professional world, the Brotherhood continues to create opportunities and lasting connections.
Hairston’s story is another example of how Duke’s influence reaches far past the hardwood. From Cameron to Klutch, he proves that the Blue Devil family impacts and influences everywhere.
