DaMon Macklin brings steady, versatile depth to Duquesne’s backfield
Macklin is a Pittsburgh-area running back who has already shown he can contribute in Duquesne’s offense, with 134 rushing yards on 27 carries in his ESPN-listed career stats and 81 rushing yards on 13 carries in 2023 team records. He looks like a reliable rotational piece rather than a pure volume back: efficient, experienced, and familiar with the program. The fit appeal is his local toughness and depth value, while the biggest question is whether he can expand from complementary duty into a more consistent carry-share role.[4][5][6]
