Duquesne's Towering Transfer Anchor with Elite Rim Protection
Derek Ahern, Duquesne Dukes' 7-foot center transfer from USF, brings dominant rebounding prowess—averaging 7.3 boards per game as a sophomore in the 2023-24 WCC season (6th in conference)—and six double-doubles, including a monster 18-point, 18-rebound explosion vs. Portland. His length disrupts shots like few others, making him a paint protector ideal for teams needing interior toughness; high-motor intensity and blue-collar grit shine through, no injury red flags, positioning him as a steal for A-10 contenders chasing March Madness runs.
