Kris Chester brings size, speed, and a track-star edge to Duquesne’s secondary
Kris Chester is a freshman defensive back for Duquesne in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, and his calling card is rare athletic versatility rather than a stat-sheet already packed with production[1][4]. Duquesne and recruiting notes describe him as a multisport standout from La Salle College High School, a top defensive player in the Philadelphia Catholic League, and a three-time All-American in track and field, which hints at the burst and range that can make a DB dangerous in both coverage and pursuit[4]. He’s an intriguing fit for a team that values upside, length, and raw athletic ceiling over immediate veteran polish[1][4].
