WEEK 8 NEC SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Matt Clark, Duquesne, Kicker, Senior, 5-9, 170 lbs., Easton, PA/Easton Area, Week 8 Stats: 13 points, 3-3 FG (27, 26, 31 yards), 4-4 PAT, 429 kickoff yards, 7 kickoffs, 4 touchbacks,...Clark contributed 13 points to Duquesne's commanding 37-0 win in a battle of unbeatens at Mercyhurst on Saturday. The veteran was perfect in each of his three field goal attempts, converting on kicks from 27, 26 and 31 yards. He also enjoyed a perfect night after he went 4-for-4 on PATs. In addition to registering the most field goals by a Duke since 2022, the Easton, PA native's three field goal makes were tied for the most by an NEC kicker in a game this season and they were the most made against a Division I opponent. Clark had a busy day for the Dukes in the big win, as he also handled the team's kickoff duties. He registered four touchbacks on seven kickoffs and totaled 429 kickoff yards in the contest. Clark is the second Duquesne player in as many weeks to earn NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Special Teams Player of the Week honors this year as Joel Kpassou took home the honor last week. - NEC Football

WEEK 8 NEC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Avery Morris, Duquesne, Linebacker, Graduate Student, 6-2, 230 lbs., Humble, TX/Atascocita (UTSA/Charlotte),Week 8 Stats: 9 tackles (5 solo), 1 fumble recovery for touchdown (35 yards),...Morris was the centerpiece of a dominant defensive performance by Duquesne in Saturday's battle of the unbeatens at Mercyhurst in Erie. The graduate linebacker balled out for the Dukes, who blanked the Lakers and improved to 3-0 in NEC play with a commanding 37-0 triumph. The shutout marked Duquesne's first against an NEC foe since 2023, when the eventual NEC champs handed Sacred Heart a 27-0 loss. Morris' stat line included nine tackles, five of which were solo stops, and his second defensive touchdown of the season, a 35-yard scoop and score that put the Dukes up by a 27-0 count at halftime. In addition, the transfer from Charlotte and UTSA anchored a defense that limited Mercyhurst to just 118 total yards of offense and 12 rushing yards while forcing seven three-and-outs on the evening. Morris became the second Duke in the past three weeks to take home NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Defensive Player of the Week accolades, as Tyson Meiguez earned the distinction on Oct. 6. - NEC Football

The redshirt sophomore shredded the Lakers' defense after he compiled a league-leading 164 rushing yards on 17 carries for an impressive 9.6 yards per rush. Hailing from Athens, GA, Davis set the tone early with a 59-yard touchdown run on the first play of the Dukes' second drive of the contest to make it a 14-0 advantage. Posting the most rushing yards by an NEC back against a Division I opponent this season with his third 100-yard game of the season and the fifth of his career, Davis, who is second in the conference with 66.5 rushing yards per game, helped Duquesne finish with 366 yards on the ground. That total was the program's highest since 2018 and the most by an NEC squad this season against Division I competition. Davis is the second Duke to garner NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Offensive Player of the Week distinction this season, joining quarterback Tyler Riddell. - NEC Football

WEEK 7 NEC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK: Ryan Petras, Duquesne, Wide Receiver, Freshman, 5-9, 180 lbs., Bethel Park, PA/Bethel Park, Week 7 Stats: 23 receiving yards, 2 receptions, 1 touchdown reception,...Petras became the first player to repeat as the NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Rookie of the Week this season. The first-year wide receiver contributed to Duquesne's convincing 52-7 home win over Saint Francis on Saturday after he caught a 12-yard touchdown from graduate student Tyler Riddell to extend the Dukes' first-quarter advantage to 21-0. A local product of Bethel Park, PA, Petras totaled 23 receiving yards for Duquesne, which improved to 2-0 in NEC play for the third time in as many seasons with its sixth-straight home triumph against a conference team. This season, Petras, who caught for a pair of touchdowns last weekend against Stonehill, has hauled in touchdowns in four of his six receptions. His four touchdown receptions are tied for second-most in the circuit. - NEC Football

WEEK 7 NEC SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Joel Kpassou, Duquesne, Defensive Back, Junior, 5-10, 170 lbs., Cleveland, OH/Solon (Findlay),...Week 7 Stats: 94-yard return for touchdown on opening kickoff,...Kpassou set the tone in Duquesne's 52-7 win over visiting Saint Francis on Saturday. Returning the game's opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown, the junior helped the Dukes jump out to their largest halftime lead against an FCS team in program history, a 45-0 advantage. The kickoff return touchdown was Duquesne's first since Xavier Nelson turned the trick on an 82-yard return at Central Connecticut on Nov. 16, 2016. In addition, it was the first to start a game for the Dukes since Oct. 25, 2014 (Devin Rahming - 97 yards vs. Alderson Broaddus), and the only kickoff return touchdown in the NEC this season. Improving to 2-0 in the conference for the third time in as many seasons, last year's defending NEC co-champ has knocked off six-straight conference opponents at home in a streak that dates back to the 2024 campaign. Kpassou is the first Duke to garner NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Special Teams Player of the Week honors this season. - NEC Football

WEEK 6 NEC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK: Ryan Petras, Duquesne, Wide Receiver, Freshman, 5-9, 180 lbs., Bethel Park, PA/Bethel Park, Week 6 Stats: 82 receiving yards, 3 receptions, 2 touchdowns,...Petras was the leader of a crop of Duquesne flankers that racked up 239 receiving yards in Saturday's 20-point NEC-opening win over visiting Stonehill. The first-year wideout from neighboring Bethel Park, PA nearly quadrupled his season receiving yard total of 23 after catching three balls for a team-high 82 yards and two touchdowns for the Dukes, who eclipsed the 30-point plateau for the second-straight week in the 34-14 triumph. Petras extended his team's lead to 20-0 just before halftime with his first career touchdown catch, a 21-yarder from veteran quarterback Tyler Riddell. The rookie doubled his touchdown total and put his team up by a 27-0 count after he hauled in a 52-yard pass from Riddell in stride and ran into the end zone untouched with 1:50 left in the third. With the win, Duquesne is off to a 1-0 start to NEC play for the third time in as many seasons. Petras became the first Duke to garner NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Rookie of the Week accolades this season, and the first since Luke Miller took home the award on Sept. 16, 2024. - NEC Football

Entering the contest with six tackles and one quarterback hurry to his name, the Californian, who landed at Duquesne by way of Georgia Tech and Murray State, stuffed the stat sheet against the Skyhawks. He racked up nine tackles, including five solo stops, and added 1.5 tackles-for-loss, one forced fumble, one pass breakup and a quarterback hurry. In addition, Meiguez was the anchor of a defensive unit that pitched a shutout for more than three quarters of action, as Stonehill was held off the scoreboard until the 11:12 mark of the final stanza. Meiguez is the first Duke to garner NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Defensive Player of the Week accolades this season. - NEC Football

WEEK 5 NEC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Tyler Riddell, Duquesne, Quarterback, Graduate Student, 6-1, 190, Tampa, FL/Chamberlain (Gardner-Webb)...Last Week's Stats: 15-23 completions, 201 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 0 interceptions, 63 rushing yards, 8 carries, 7.9 yards per carry, 2 rushing touchdowns...Riddell was the ringleader of a Duquesne offense that put up seven touchdowns and scored 44 points in a 26-point win over New Haven on Saturday. The graduate signal caller accounted for five of the Dukes' scores after he threw for three touchdowns and rushed for two more. It marked Ridell's second five-touchdown outing this season as earlier this month, the Floridian threw for five scores against Lincoln on Sept. 6. Against the Chargers, he completed 15-of-23 passes for 201 yards and zero picks while adding a career-high 63 rushing yards on eight carries.

After New Haven opened the game with a score, Riddell connected with Joey Isabella on three consecutive drives for touchdown passes of two, six and 61 yards to make it a 28-6 lead in the third quarter. It marked his third game this season - and ninth of his career that also features stops at Gardner-Webb and ETSU - with three-or-more touchdown passes. Later in the game, he padded Duquesne's lead with touchdown runs of 10 and eight yards. Averaging 171.4 passing yards per game, Riddell is second in the NEC with 11 touchdown passes. This is his first career weekly award from the NEC. - NEC Football
