Dover, Del. (Apr. 15, 2023) --- Delaware State's defense had the edge in the early going, but the offense took control in the later stages of the Hornets' second spring scrimmage before several hundred onlookers at Alumni Stadium this evening. Sophomore quarterback Marqui Adams threw touchdown passes to wide receiver NyGhee Lolley, and tight ends  Myles Morales and E.J. Core, while redshirt sophomore QB C.J. Henry connected with wideout Rahkeem Smith on a 57-yard scoring pass to highlight the offense's performance in the 90-play scrimmage. Veteran signal-callers Jared Lewis (sr.) and Tylik Bethea (jr.) also took snaps, while running backs Tyshaun Capers, Wade Inge and Michael Chris-Ike handled most of the carries.
The defense, keyed by an early sack from lineman Omakus Langley II, kept the offense in check for much of the early stages after a long pass from Adams to Smith on the first play of the scrimmage. Linemen Darren Cook and Eric Montes, along with fellow defenders Jesus Robinson (LB), Jasiyah Brooks (DB), Daniel Douglas (DB) and Romell Harris-Freeman (DB) also made key stops in the scrimmage.
The Hornets will wrap-up their first spring camp under new head coach Lee Hull with the annual Red/White game on Apr. 22 (1:00) at Alumni Stadium.
Delaware State will kick-off its 11-game 2023 schedule at home against Bowie State on Sep. 2.
