A native of Monson, Mass., the 6-foot-7, 225-pound big man received First-Team All-CAA honors in 2024-25 as a sophomore at Campbell, where he began his collegiate career. He averaged 15.7 points per game, along with 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
He had seven 20-point games, including two 30-point outings, and led the CAA in conference scoring at a clip of 19.9 PPG.
His top performance of the year came against North Carolina on Dec. 29, 2024, in which he dropped 32 points on 11-for-18 shooting from the field, including 5-for-9 from beyond the arc.
His career-high was at Delaware on Feb. 15, 2025, when he totaled 33 points on 12-for-18 shooting with a perfect 4-for-4 mark from three.
Heading into the 2025-26 campaign with his new program, Duggan was named a Preseason First-Team All-CAA player, but a shoulder injury sidelined him for part of the season.
He played in 19 games — starting in all of them — in which he averaged 9.3 PPG with 2.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists. He additionally shot a team-best 86.4 percent from the free-throw line.
Prior to arriving at Campbell, Duggan spent his high-school career at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass.
As a senior, he averaged 23 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block per game, picking up first-team All-NEPSAC Class A honors for the second time.
He also competed for the New England 6 AAU program and played three seasons of varsity soccer.
