The incoming transfers are 6-1, 205 lb. quarterback J.P. Caruso (at left), who comes to Delaware
from Appalachian State, and 6-6, 300 lb. offensive lineman Noah Beh (below right) from Penn State. “We are excited about the addition of these two outstanding student-athletes to our football program,” said Rocco, who will begin drills on July 27 in preparation for the 2017 season opener - and his Delaware coaching debut - Aug. 31 vs. Delaware State at Delaware Stadium. “With the addition of J.P. and Noah, we continues to create depth at the quarterback and offensive line positions. Both are very competitive young men who will elevate the competition in those areas.”
Caruso, a native of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. (Palm Beach Gardens HS) attended Sun Belt Conference power Appalachian State for three seasons and earned his business management degree this past spring. He will enroll in Delaware's MBA program and will have two years of eligibility with the Blue Hens.
He redshirted as a true freshman in 2014, saw action in five games and threw for 109 yards and two touchdowns behind starter Taylor Lamb in 2015, and played in nine games as a backup to Lamb in 2016, completing all six of his passes for 46 yards and a touchdown and rushing for 46 yards and a touchdown.
The Mountaineers went 11-2 and defeated Ohio University in the Camelia Bowl in 2015 and went 10-3 and downed Toledo in the Camelia Bowl in 2016 for head coach Scott Satterfield.
A native of Moscow, Pa. (Scranton Prep High School), Beh sat out as a redshirt as a true freshman in 2014, played in 13 games as a backup offensive lineman in 2015, and did not see game action during the 2016 campaign.

Beh, who will have two years of eligibility at Delaware, was an All-State selection at Scranton Prep as a two-way lineman and led the team to an undefeated season in 2013.
He was rated a three-star prospect and a Top 20 recruit in Pennsylvania by ESPN, Rivals.com and 247Sports.com. He ranked as a Top 50 offensive tackle nationally by three of the four national recruiting services.
