Delaware State football is at a crossroads. After a 1-11 (0-5 MEAC) season in 2024, the Hornets were outscored 446 to 212, struggled in the trenches, and lacked offensive firepower. But with new head coach DeSean Jackson at the helm, change is coming. Jackson’s first recruiting class is one of the most promising in Delaware State football history, blending FBS transfers and high-upside high school recruits. But can this group turn DSU into a competitive force in HBCU football?
One of the biggest questions is: Who replaces star running back Jaden Sutton, and
can Jackson find the missing pieces to elevate the program?
