NEWARK, Del. – Since his arrival on campus Nasir Adderley of the University of Delaware football program has been accomplishing things that hadn't been done in a long time.
That streak continued this week when he became the first Blue Hen since 2015 to earn an Associated Press All-American accolades when he was named to the Second Team.
"I'm incredibly humbled and grateful for this recognition. I've been blessed with a ton of support and teammates and coaches that have pushed me every day to be the best I could possibly be," Adderley said.
This past year, the Philadelphia, Pa. native finished the year with a career-high 87 tackles, which ranked in the top-20 nationally for defensive backs. He also had a team-high four INTs and seven pass break-ups, to go along with his one forced fumble and fumble recovery.
Adderley is the only player in the country with over 160 tackles and nine INTs over the past two seasons.
He will now focus on the Reese's Senior Bowl, in which he will make it two straight years that Delaware has been represented at the prestigious pre-NFL draft event.
