Dom Aekins is a tiny-but-tough Duquesne guard with upside
In the 2025-26 season, Dom Aekins has been a low-usage freshman guard for Duquesne, averaging 3.0 points in 7.6 minutes while shooting 42.5% from the field; he also flashed his first NCAA Division I double-figure game with 12 points against Queens.[2][3][9][11] The appeal is the speed, the point-guard instincts, and the on-ball juice that made him a nationally noticed Nike Circuit guard in high school, though his listed 5-foot-10 frame means he projects as a change-of-pace player more than an instant lead option.[6][10][14]
