DeSean Jackson, a former NFL star, has been named the new head football coach at Delaware State University. He aims to bring the same transformative impact Deion Sanders had at Jackson State, leading the Hornets to their first winning season in over a decade.
DeSean Jackson is set to become the new head football coach at Delaware State University, aiming to replicate the success Deion Sanders achieved at Jackson State. Sanders' transformative tenure at Jackson State, which saw a 27-6 record and two Celebration Bowl appearances, proved that a high-profile former NFL star can elevate a college program. Jackson's hiring marks a bold step for Delaware State, a program seeking its first winning season since 2012.
Jackson expressed his ambition to win the MEAC championship and reach the Celebration Bowl immediately, stating, 'We don't have time to waste. We're doing this right now.' Sanders, who lauded Jackson as a 'game changer', believes Jackson's understanding of the game and experience can lead to similar success at Delaware State.
