Delaware State’s spring football game took place on a chilly afternoon at Alumni Stadium on April 12, showcasing the progress made under new head coach DeSean Jackson. Jackson, a former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, has implemented changes and set high expectations for the team as they prepare for the 2025 season.
The team showed signs of growth during the game, with quarterback Marqui Adams standing out as a dual threat with both his arm and his legs. However, many key players, including transfers and high school seniors, are yet to join the team, so the Hornets are expected to look different come August when preseason camp begins.
The offense, led by coordinator Nemo Washington, dominated early on in spring practices, but the defense, orchestrated by coordinator Brandon Blackmon, made a comeback with strong plays and blitzes. The team ended the spring with a close game between offense and defense, indicating an overall balanced performance.
Jackson, who is adjusting to the challenges of being a head coach after a short stint as a high school assistant, expressed his excitement and dedication to helping the players both on and off the field. Moving forward, the team is looking to improve and build on the progress made during spring practices as they gear up for the upcoming season.
