NEC Honored Duquesne Kicker with Proven Big-Moment Calm
Austin Crimmins, a sophomore placekicker for the Duquesne Dukes, earned the 2014 Northeast Conference Special Teams Player of the Week award, signaling his reliability under pressure and elite accuracy in critical situations. His differentiator is a calm, intense demeanor that shines when games hinge on a single kick—a trait that made him a trusted weapon in Duquesne’s special teams arsenal. While recent team records show Duquesne’s kicking duties have shifted to Matt Clark in 2025, Crimmins’ pedigree as an NEC honoree makes him a high-upside fit for teams needing a kicker with proven conference-level success and a track record of delivering in the spotlight.
