Explosive Duquesne RB with 5-YPC High School Pedigree and Academic Grit
Charbel Latouf, a 5'9", 200-lb sophomore RB for the Duquesne Dukes, differentiates himself with a proven high school track record of 544 rushing yards and 7 TDs as a senior at Cathedral Prep (Erie, PA), averaging just under 5.0 yards per carry [2][8]. His 200-lb frame at 5'9" gives him a low, powerful center of gravity ideal for between-the-tackles grit, while his inclusion on Duquesne’s 2026 academic honor list (best department GPA in 15+ years) signals elite discipline and coachability [7]. Though his 2024 college debut was limited (7 carries, 17 yards) as he transitioned from RB to DB before returning to RB [9], his high school intensity and 800+ career rushing yards suggest he’s a high-upside fit for teams needing a reliable, hard-nosed runner who won’t quit [2]. No reported injury history; his academic excellence and rapid roster reintegration reflect mental toughness and adaptability.
