NEWARK, Del. – With 17 starters returning next season, the University of Delaware football program was already built for a bright future. That future got even brighter with 15 incoming recruits in the Class of 2020.
How bright exactly?
According to HERO Sports, the nation's top recruiting site for FCS programs, it's the best in program history with the Blue Hens ranked third in the country among all incoming classes.
Three incoming recruits, Fintan Brose (#15), R.J. McNamara (#65) and Marcus Yarns (#83) all ranked among the Top-100 incoming recruits by HERO Sports.
"I'm really excited about this group of student-athletes that signed with us. This is an extremely talented group that not only has had success on the football field, but off the field as well," head coach Danny Rocco said. "It's a group that is filled with student-athletes that will have an opportunity to make an immediate impact on our program and I'm excited for their future with us here at Delaware."
This year's class is the second straight ranked in the top-10 nationally after last year's class was ranked ninth in the country.
Delaware will open its spring football camp next month with a full spring schedule becoming available in the next two weeks.
