8/12/2026 3:54:00 PM | Football
NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware football team is preparing for the 2026 season which kicks off at home against Merrimack on Thursday, September 3 at 7 p.m. Throughout fall camp, positional previews will be posted online to spotlight the different units that make up the 2026 Fightin' Blue Hens.
OFFENSIVE LINE
Run Game Coordinator / Offensive Line Coach Chris Rogers spearheads the unit in his fifth season with the Blue Hens.
"Development is the name of the game for us in the offensive line room," Rogers said. "All those guys are doing a good job, they're all fitting in. A deep offensive line is a good offensive line. It's not about five guys, it's about the blocking department being successful."
The offensive line returns three of five starters from a season ago: Anthony Caccese, Steven Demboski, and Noah Rosahac, starting 13, 11, and 11 games, respectively.
This preseason, Demboski has been named to the Rimington Trophy Watchlist, Outland Trophy Watchlist, Wuerffel Trophy Watchlist, Lombardi Award Watchlist, CUSA Watchlist, Shriners Children 1000 Watchlist, Athlon Sports All-CUSA First Team, Phil Steele All-CUSA First Team, Pro Football Network All-CUSA First Team, and an Allstate AFCA Good Works Team Nominee.
Caccese was named to the Athlon Sports All-CUSA Second Team, Phil Steele All-CUSA Second Team, and Pro Football Network All-CUSA Second Team, while Rosahac was named to the Athlon Sports All-CUSA Second Team and Pro Football Network All-CUSA Second Team.
Other returners include Bentley Allen II, Tyler Burnham, Patrick Methlie, Wahkeem Roman, Carter Sareyka, Dylan Stewart, and Chandler Telfaire. Methlie (32 games), Roman (four games), Sareyka (two games), and Burnham (one game) all have collegiate playing experience entering the season.
Joining the unit this season are Tiffin/Notre Dame College transfer Mustafa Feika (Columbus, Ohio / Westerville Central) and Duke transfer Jack Small (Northvale, N.J. / Northern Valley Regional at Old Tappen), as well as freshmen Collier Book (Dauphin, Pa. / Central Dauphin), Jaiden Edwards (Fredericksburg, Va. / Courtland), Miles Muldrow (Franklin Township, N.J. / Franklin), and Brandon Truszkowski (Hatfield, Pa. / Germantown Academy).
