Duggan played four seasons in Chestnut Hill from 2011-14 as a linebacker where he appeared in 44 games and tallied 115 total tackles (49 solo and 66 assisted), 6.5 tackles for loss, four passes defended, two interceptions, two fumble recoveries, and one forced fumble.
During his coaching career, the Cincinnati, Ohio, native, also had two stints with the Eagles as a defensive graduate assistant in 2015 and was the linebackers coach from 2020-23 as well as co-defensive coordinator in 2023.
