NEWARK, Del. – Three University of Delaware football student-athletes have landed on the 2026 College Gridiron Showcase Watch List, the organization announced. OL Steven Demboski, DT Keyshawn Hunter, and QB Zach Marker represented the Fightin' Blue Hens on the list.
The list features more than 1,000 college senior NFL hopefuls from across the nation. The annual CGS Watch List serves as the definitive preview of top collegiate football players who have demonstrated both elite athletic ability and professional potential, providing NFL scouts, media, agents, and fans with a comprehensive look at the talent poised to shape the future of professional football.
Demboski, a team captain, has appeared in 16 games in the last two seasons for the Blue Hens. The Hillsdale, N.J. native will look to fill the shoes of All-American C Brock Gingrich, who is now on staff.
Hunter played in seven games with six starts a season ago, recording 18 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 4.5 TFLs, and a forced fumble. The Washington, D.C. native finished second on the team in 2024 in sacks and leads all returners.
Marker played in four games, making three starts last season. He set a Delaware single-game record by completing his first 16 passes at Towson. The sixth-year graduate student from Norwalk, Iowa is currently riding the longest-streak in program history without an interception dating back to 2023 (189).
