The former Marshall standout transferred to Duquesne ahead of last season. The 6-foot-5 wing averaged 8.6 points and 2.5 rebounds per game for the Dukes, shooting 43% from three-point range as a key shooter for Duquesne throughout year one of the Dru Joyce III era. Crawford started a career-high 22 games this past season, and made 44 of his 102 three-point tries.

The guard has now played for three teams in his college career: Indiana State, Marshall, and Duquesne. His lone season with the Dukes was the best year of his career, statistically, on the offensive end.

Duquesne also announced that David Dixon will return to the team on Wednesday.

Dixon, a 6-foot-9, 215-pound forward, spent his junior season coming off the bench for the Dukes for the most part. He appeared in 32 games, starting ten. Dixon played just 18.3 minutes per game for the Dukes but made a massive impact. He averaged 5.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per contest, setting a career-high in rebounds per game but taking a step back in the scoring department.

Dixon staying with the Dukes is big news, as Duquesne’s Dru Joyce III and his staff have now finalized a deep front court. This offseason, Duquesne brought in former Xavier center John Hugley, as well as Stef Van Bussel out of College of Charleston.
