THE GAME
Delaware State renews its rivalry with Shaw University in the 2011 home
opener. The Hornets kicked off the new season with a 24-21 victory at VMI last
Saturday in the debut of head coach Kermit Blount. Quarterback Nick Elko
threw for 232 yards and three touchdowns and Justin Wilson had six catches
for 110 yards and two scores to lead the DSU offense. The Hornet defense
forced three turnovers and recorded a key fourth down stop on VMI’s final drive
of the game. The victory snapped a two-game Delaware State losing streak in
season openers, while VMI had won its previous six opening games.
Division II Shaw, the defending Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association
(CIAA) champ, is 0-1 after a 16-13 loss to Stillman in its opener last weekend.
The Bears were held to –5 yards rushing and 171 total yards in the game.
THE SERIES
The Hornets and Bears are meeting for the first time since 1976, and the third
time overall. Delaware State won the two previous meetings. The teams first
met in 1975 at Shaw, with the Hornets coming out on top 14-6. Shaw visited
Delaware State the following year. The Hornets posted a 27-6 win in that contest.
DSU VS CIAA/DIVISION II
This will be the Hornets’ first game against a CIAA team since a 26-23 loss to
North Carolina Central in 2004. Delaware State was a member of the CIAA
from 1947 to 1971. Since joining the MEAC in 1971, Delaware State is 13-6 vs.
CIAA teams. Saturday’s contest vs. Shaw is also Delaware State’s first against
a NCAA Division II team since a 62-0 victory over Concord (W.V.) in 2006.
Since joining the Division I-AA (now FCS) ranks in 1979, the Hornets are 30-14
vs. Division II opponents.
CHANGE AT THE TOP
Kermit Blount, in his first season with the Hornets, is the 17th head coach in the
history of the DSU football program, and the sixth since 1981. DSU is one of 17
FCS schools to make coaching changes this season, including five in the MidEastern Athletic Conference.

HORNET RADIO NETWORK
ELKO HAS SOLID 2011
DEBUT
Nick Elko (r-jr.; 6-3/210) turned
in a strong performance in his
debut as the Hornets’ full-time
starting quarterback. 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.

CAPTAINS UP FOR GRABS
JONES RISING ON DSU RUSHING CHARTS
Delaware State’s Jaashawn Jones (6-1/220; Asbury Park, N.J.) has passed the 1,400-yard rushing
mark for his career after collecting 69 yards on 18
carries (long 20) in the Hornets’ 24-21 win over VMI
in the season opener last week. Jones has led the
Hornets in rushing in each of the last two seasons.
Last year, he was fourth in the MEAC in rushing
yards (724) and fifth in the league in rushing yards
per game (65.8). As a sophomore in 2009, Jones
was fifth in the conference in rushing yards (632)
and yards per game (79.0). He averaged 4.5 yards
per carry in 2010, and holds a 4.2 yard-per-carry
average for his career. Jones was selected to the
2011 Preseason All-MEAC First Team. He now has
1,456 career rushing yards, moving him to within
544 of becoming the ninth player in team history with at least 2,000 yards.

Rather than select captains for the season, the Delaware State coaching staff plans to appoint captains for
each game this year. “We will name captains for each
contest, based on game and practice performance,
attitude, classroom and off-the-field activities,” said firstyear head coach Kermit Blount. “This has been my
philosophy since I became a head coach.”
MANY DEFENSIVE STARS IN OPENING
DAY WIN
It was hard to identify just one standout defensive
player in the Hornets’ opening day win at VMI last
week. 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. Tabb also recorded a forced fumble. Four other players collected six tackles each, including linebacker Brandon Harvey (sr,; 6-1/240), who
also recorded a forced fumble and an interception. Defensive lineman Darrell Brown (sr.; 6-2/300) also had
six tackles and a sack. In addition, defensive back Matt
Spicer (r-so.; 5-11/195) had six tackles and an interception.
TARPLEY SURVIVES SHAKY START TO

Delaware State wide receiver/kick returner Travis Tarpley (r-jr.; 5-7/175) less than
memorable start to the 2011
season. Tarpley fumbled the

KANO GETS A KICK OUT OF DSU WIN
Hornet punter Marko Kano (so; 6-4/215) played a key
role in the opening day win. The Cottbus, Germany
native averaged 45.8 yards on eight kicks vs. VMI last
week, tops among all MEAC punters on the opening
weekend. Kano had a long kick of 65 yards. He also

Delaware State quarterback Nick Elko can thank his
offensive line for staying upright in last week’s win at
VMI. The Hornets did not allow a sack in the contest.
Elko dropped back to pass 32 times in the contest,
completing 17. The offensive line did not commit a false
start , but was accessed one holding penalty in the contest.
HORNETS NOT SO BRIGHT UNDER
LIGHTS
Since installing lights and an artificial surface at Alumni
Stadium in 2006, Delaware State is 15-9 at home, including 5-5 at night. The Hornets were 2-3 at Alumni
Stadium last season, including 0-2 under the lights.
IN THE RED
The Delaware State offense was a misleading 3-for-4 in
the “red zone” in the opener last week. The Hornets
scored two touchdowns and kicked a field goal when
beginning a series of plays inside the VMI 20-yard line
last week. The only time DSU did not score inside the
“red zone” was when it received the ball at the VMI 20
on the final possession of the game. The Hornets ran
three plays before taking a knee on the final two. The
Delaware State defense allowed three touchdowns in
four red zone chances by VMI last week. The Keydets
missed a field goal on its only red zone failure.

BLOUNT COMBINES OLD & NEW ON COACHING STAFF
New Delaware State head coach Kermit Blount has mixed some new blood with a
few familiar faces for his coaching staff. New coordinators Arrington Jones
(offense) and Mike Ketchum (defense) worked with Blount during his tenure as
head coach at Winston-Salem State. Jones, a former member of the NFL’s San
Francisco 49ers, also served as head coach at Virginia Union University. Ketchum
was a head coach at his alma mater, Guilford University.
Blount also added newcomers Tory Woodbury (running back), Bryant Foster
(cornerbacks) and William King (safeties) to the staff.
Woodbury was a star quarterback at Winston-Salem State before playing in the NFL
for the New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills. Foster was a standout
defensive back at his alma mater Garner-Webb before serving as an assistant
there. King was a Division I-AA All-America linebacker at Marshall University before
holding assistant coaching jobs at Concord University (W.V.) and West Virginia
State.
Blount also returned familiar faces Curtis Thomas (wide receivers/special teams),
Nick Calcutta (offensive line) and Jeff Braxton (defensive line) to his staff.
Thomas, a former star receiver for the Hornets, is in his 12th year on the staff. He
has served each of the last three DSU head coaches.
Calcutta, who worked with Kermit Blount at Winston-Salem State, is in his third year
at Delaware State.
Braxton is in his third stint at Delaware State. He returned to the Hornets this season after serving the last three years as head coach at Cheyney University (Pa.).

DELAWARE STATE HEAD COACH KERMIT BLOUNT
Delaware State University President
Harry L. Williams announced Kermit
Blount as the new head coach of the
Hornets on Feb. 4, 2011.
Blount brings 27 years of collegiate
coaching experience to Delaware
State University - including 16 as the
head football coach for WinstonSalem State University in North Carolina.
It didn’t take long for Blount to earn
the respect of the Hornet players and
the Delaware State University family.
He quickly became an ambassador
for the university and the football program throughout the region, in addition to establishing new academic, training, practice and accountability policies for the team.
Along the way, he found time to attract a top-notch staff of assistant coaches and support personnel to DSU.
Despite just a few weeks to prepare, Blount also directed the Hornets to a successful 2011 spring camp, during which time, new
offensive and defensive formations were installed.
DSU President Williams said Coach Blount's record speaks for
itself.
"Coach Blount has proven he knows how to guide studentathletes to championship-level seasons as well as accomplish
high standards of academic success," Dr. Williams said. "The
Search Committee is to be commended for its diligence in reviewing the candidates, in engaging in earnest deliberations and arriving at its recommendation."
Blount is the winningest coach in the history of the WinstonSalem State football program. In fact, he reached the top of the
list with a 28-27 come-from-behind win against Delaware State
in Dover, Del., in 2008. He has also led the Rams to 25 percent
of their conference championships, directing WSSU to two of
its eight conference titles as a head coach and to two more conference titles as a quarterback on the team’s 1977 and 1978
squads.
Blount was honored as the CIAA Coach of the Year and as the
Washington D.C. Pigskin Coach of the Year, as well as the
100% Wrong Club Coach of the Year - each award in both 1999
and 2000.
Throughout his coaching career, Blount has been associated
with programs that have experienced phenomenal success. In
all, he has been in a leadership role with teams that have won a
total of six conference titles at both the NCAA Division I and Division II levels.
Blount began his coaching career in his home state of Virginia at
Armstrong Kennedy High School in Richmond as a quarterbacks
coach and assistant offensive coordinator. Following two seasons at the high school level Blount moved on to the collegiate
ranks in 1983.
In 1983 he became a graduate assistant and assistant quarterbacks coach at East Carolina University where he would begin
his collegiate coaching career. Following his stint with the Pirates, Blount joined the staff at Howard University, where he
assumed the responsibilities of offensive coordinator from 198489 under Bison head coach Willie Jeffries.
Delaware State University Director of athletics Derek Carter says
Blount brings a wealth of experience to the Hornet football program.
Soon after his arrival in the nation's capital, Blount's presence
was felt as he directed a potent Bison offense to the 1987 Mid"Kermit Blount stood out among the many outstanding candidates Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Championship. Following
his time at Howard, he spent four more years as part of Jeffries'
for the position because of his broad experience, proven leaderstaff at South Carolina State University (MEAC) in Orangeburg,
ship and vision for Delaware State University football," Carter
said. "His record of leading young men to success on the field and South Carolina before returning to his alma mater, Winstonin the classroom makes him an ideal fit for the university and the
Salem State University, as the head football coach in 1993.
football program."
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.

Nick Elko threw for 230 yards and three touchdowns and Justin Wilson had two TD
catches to lead Delaware State’s 346-yard attack. 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.
