Bridgewater, N.J. – Duquesne senior running back Ness Davis earned an NEC Prime Performer honor for Week 2.

A member of the 2026 Walter Payton Award Watch List, Davis rushed for 88 yards on 11 carries in Saturday's game at No. 10 Youngstown State. He used a highlight-reel hurdle over a defender to break free for a 36-yard run on the opening drive that helped set up a Duquesne score.
