Charlie Stec brings blue-collar upside to Duquesne’s defensive line
Charlie Stec is a 6-foot-3, 240-pound defensive lineman for Duquesne who arrived with legit prep pedigree: all-state honors, Chicago Catholic League Co-Defensive Lineman of the Year, and a senior year with 13 sacks plus a pick-six. Duquesne’s roster lists him as a sophomore in 2026, but there are no published college game stats yet, so the appeal is projection: size, wrestling background, and a disruptive high-motor profile that suggests he fits a physical front. He looks like a developmental DL for a program that values toughness and work ethic.
