Dukes Will Look to Transfer at QB in 2026

The Dukes brought in quarterback Ty Riddell in 2025 to add an experienced, mature signal caller to the offense. It worked pretty well. The Dukes werein the hunt for the NEC title and FCS playoff berth up until the last week of the season last year. The Dukes offense in general was stellar last season, but having a seasoned player at the most important position was part of the reason why.

Now, the Dukes look to do it again.

Carson Camp arrives at Duquesne as one of the most well-traveled and battle-tested quarterbacks in the FCS. His career path reflects the modern reality of college football, moving from South Dakota (2020–2022) to Sacramento State (2023) and most recently Southeastern Louisiana (2025).

Camp’s most productive season came at South Dakota, where he posted career-best numbers with 2,252 yards and 17 touchdowns, while maintaining an impressive 65.2% completion rate.

Across his collegiate career, Camp has amassed 6,136 passing yards and 39 touchdowns. Having seen 809 career pass attempts and faced the pressure of 92 sacks, he brings a level of "seasoned" composure that is rare for any program.

For the Dukes, Camp is a plug-and-play veteran who has consistently demonstrated the ability to command an offense, maintain a high completion percentage, and manage high-pressure game environments.

That seems to be exaclty what Duquesne is looking for.

Look for the Dukes to exceed expectations this season in the NEC.
