Elko completed 17-of-32 pass for 232 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. His completion percentage would have been even higher if not for a handful of dropped passes. Elko connected with Travis Tarpley on a 19-yard touchdown pass, and hooked up with Justin Wilson on 7 and 47-yard scoring strikes. Elko trained for his starting role with a solid season as the Hornets’ No. 2 QB in 2010. The Delaware State signal-caller ranks fifth in the MEAC in passing yards (232), passing efficiency (145.0) and total offense (232) through the first week of play. Last season, he competed in 10 games off the bench, completing 39-of-68 passes (57.4%) for 540 yards and seven touchdowns. Elko ranked second in the MEAC in passing efficiency (149.2) and was seventh in passing average (54.0 ypg) during the 2010 season. He threw at least one touchdown pass in six games. He also showed his versatility by serving as the Hornets’ punter in the last six games in 2010, ranking fifth in the MEAC with a 36.8 yard average. As a redshirt freshman, Elko made his first career start before some 106,000 fans at Michigan. Elko completed 18-of-34 passes for 151 yards in that contest.

Cornerback Joe Boyd (so.; 6-0/195) led the team with nine tackles (3 solo), while defensive back Tavis Tabb (r-sr. 6-2/195) and linebackers Ernest Adjei (jr.; 6-0/230) and Quentin Ferguson (r-sr.; 5-11; 210) had seven each.

Blount expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to lead the Delaware State University football program during his remarks. "First of all, I want to thank President Williams and the DSU administration, along with the search committee, for the privilege of coaching the Hornets," Blount. "This program has a rich tradition, and the foundation for success is already in place. I'm looking forward to working with the university, our players, supporters and the community to take this team to the next level." During his tenure at Winston-Salem, Coach Blount had a career record 91-87-3, which included his final 2009 season with the Rams in which he led the team to an 8-2 record. He guided the Rams to two Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Championships and a total of three CIAA Championship game appearances. He also led Winston-Salem to two Pioneer Bowl appearances, one of which the team emerged as the victor (1999). During his coaching career, Blount and his coaching staffs have been responsible for recruiting and coaching student-athletes that have earned a total of 106 all-conference selections. In addition, Blount has guided a pair of conference player-of-the-year recipients, one All-America selection and a two-time Academic All-America honoree. DELAWARE STATE HEAD COACH KERMIT BLOUNT, cont. His priority on academics resulted in more than 20 percent of Winston-Salem State University football scholarship student-athletes earning above a 3.0 GPA during the 2007-08 academic year and 22 football players have been named to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Commissioner's All-Academic team over the span of the last two seasons. During Blount’s tenure, the Rams' football team GPA was the highest since the data has been tracked by the WSSU Office of AthleticAcademic Support and Blount and his coaching staff have graduated 79 percent of football student-athletes over the most recent five-year reporting period. Blount helped increase the Winston-Salem players' graduation rate from 42% in 1993 to 80% by 2009. Throughout Blount’s career, a number of his players have risen to play professionally in the NFL, CFL and the Arena Football League, including William Hayes, a third round draft pick and starting defensive end for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. Not only has Blount helped to shape the futures of former studentathletes at WSSU, he has also helped to guide the careers of countless assistant coaches and coordinators. Blount has helped four of his former assistant coaches move on to successful head coaching careers at the collegiate level. A 1980 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, Blount enjoyed a fruitful playing career as a Ram. As a four-year starter at quarterback at WSSU, Blount guided the Rams to back-to-back CIAA titles in 1977 and 1978 earning all-conference and All-America honors along the way. The 1978 All-American sat atop the WSSU record books for more than 25 years before his 3,330 career passing yards were surpassed in 2004. A native of Richmond, Va., Blount has a Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education from Winston-Salem State University. Kermit and wife Ava have two grown children, April and Bryan.

The Hornet defense forced three turnovers and made a key fourth down stop late in the fourth quarter on VMI’s final possession. A Delaware State turnover on the opening kickoff led to a VMI touchdown just 52 seconds into the season. Three plays after Tavis Tarpley lost a fumble on the opening kick at the VMI 11, Chaz Jones scored a touchdown on a one-yard run to give the Keydets a 7-0 lead. The Hornets took advantage of a VMI turnover to score their first points of the season. Tarpley atoned for his miscue by hauling in a 19-yard touchdown pass from Elko on a diving catch to pull DSU to within 7-6 with 12:03 left in the first quarter. The drive began at the VMI 19 following an interception by linebacker Brandon Harvey The Hornets failed to tie the score when freshman Mitchell Ward missed the extra point kick. The Keydets added to their lead on a touchdown midway through the second quarter. Jones scored for the second time in the game when he fumbled on a three-yard run, but recovered the ball in the endzone to give VMI at 14-6 lead with 6:22 to go before halftime. Elko and Wilson connected on the first of their two touchdown strikes to help pull the Hornets pull even shortly before the half. The duo capped off a five-play, 56-yard drive with a seven-yard scoring pass to pull the Hornets to within 1412 with 1:55 left in the second quarter. The Hornets tied the score at 14 on a two-point pass from Elko to Tarpley after the touchdown. The teams had to endure a longer than usual halftime break when lightning forced an evacuation of the stadium. Played resumed after a 68-minute delay. Delaware State took the lead for the first time when Elko and Wilson hooked up on a 47-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. Wilson caught the ball at around the VMI 20, then eluded two would-be tacklers before sprinting into the endzone. Freshman placekicker Mitchell Ward tacked on the extra point to give the Hornets a 21-14 lead with 5:46 left in the third quarter. Wilson had six catches for 110 yards and two touchdowns in the contest. The Hornets stretched their lead to 24-14 when Ward hit his first collegiate field goal, a 24-yard kick with 12:51 left in the fourth quarter. Elko completed 2-of-3 passes for 47 yards during the scoring drive, including a 37-yard strike to Tarpley. VMI pulled to within 24-21 when Jones scored his third touchdown of the game on a 4-yard run with 7:38 left to play. After Delaware State failed to score on its next possession, the Keydets started their final drive of the game at their 20-yard line with 2:51 left to play. The Hornet defense forced VMI into three incomplete passes and a completion for no gain in four plays to seal the win.
