Akei Griffin brings freshman versatility to Duquesne’s secondary
Akei Griffin is a young Duquesne defensive back who checks in at roughly 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10 and 190 pounds, giving the Dukes a compact, physical DB with room to grow in the 2026 season. He’s listed as a freshman and appears to be part of the active roster mix, which makes him a developmental piece worth watching rather than a finished product. The fit appeal is simple: if you want a competitive, coachable defender who can add toughness and depth in the secondary, Griffin looks like a sensible bet with upside.
