Week 11 Stats: 126 receiving yards, 6 receptions, 21.0 yards per reception, 3 touchdown receptions
Erby waited for the most opportune time to have a career day. The graduate wide receiver made key — and timely — offensive contributions in what was a battle of the NEC’s two remaining undefeated teams on Saturday. A native of Chester, SC who transferred to Duquesne from Rhode Island, Erby scored a career-best three touchdowns — all in the first half — to put the Dukes up 21-0 at the break against crosstown rival Robert Morris. Duquesne would go on to win the first meeting between the two foes since 2019 by a 31-6 final to take sole possession of first place in the NEC standings with a 4-0 record. Erby closed out the game with 126 yards on six receptions for an average of 21.0 yards per catch. It marked the second time in the past three games that he eclipsed the 120-yard mark. In addition, Erby is the only NEC receiver to have three touchdown catches in a game, and he is the first Duke to do so since 2016. All six of his touchdown catches have come against NEC foes this season. With the wide receiver’s first honor of the season, Duquesne has had a stranglehold on the NEC Offensive Player of the Week award as of late with winners in each of the past three weeks.
