Lex Duarte gives Bethune-Cookman a young leg with upside
Duarte is a freshman punter listed at 5-foot-10, 170 pounds for Bethune-Cookman in the 2026 season, so the immediate story is projection rather than a proven stat line. The appeal is the clean special-teams fit: a young specialist who can grow into consistency, field-position value, and hang-time reliability as he develops. If your team wants a developmental punter with room to add strength and refine technique, Duarte is the kind of low-drama, high-upside bet worth watching.
