NEWARK, Del. – The future is bright for the University of Delaware football program.
Coming off back-to-back seven-win seasons, the first FCS playoff appearance since 2010 and a top-25 ranking, the energy around the program is palpable.
That energy and momentum doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon with a highly-touted class of 17 newcomers joining the Blue Hens this fall. That class was recognized among the best in the country with HERO Sports FCS ranking it ninth-best in the country.
"We're thrilled with this group of student-athletes that have signed with us and will be joining us this fall. It's a high character group of young men who will be great additions to not only our football program, but our university community," head coach Danny Rocco said. "This is a quality group from top to bottom and all of them have a strong history of academics and we can't wait to have them join our program."
In addition to the 17 newcomers, the Blue Hens also added two transfers with Dae'lun Darien (Baltimore, Md./Dunbar (Penn State) and Zachariah Burton (New Castle, Del./William Penn (UVA), who will be with the program through the spring sessions.
Spring ball officially starts March 12thwith the annual Spring Game set for April 20th.
