Delaware State University has found their new head football coach.
Former Morgan State Head Coach Lee Hull will take over the DelState program, about a month after the dismissal of DSU-alum Rod Milstead.
Hull coached the Bears for two seasons, taking them to a share of the MEAC title and an FCS playoff berth in 2014 before joining the Indianapolis Colts as a receivers coach in 2016.
Hull said in a statement “I want to thank Director of Athletics Alecia Shields-Gadson and the Delaware State family for the privilege to serve as the new head coach of the Hornets, The amazing growth and achievements of the university present an opportunity to take the football program to new levels of success as well. Given the school’s location in the heavily populated Mid-Atlantic region and growing status as a university, I’m excited to share its story in search of student-athletes who are champions in the classroom, the campus and community, and on the field.”

According to WDEL..com, “Coach Hull is committed to our vision for the University—an institution committed to excellence and growth with a deep desire to dominate recruiting in the region and a laser focus on winning on and off the field. We are fortunate to have him and look forward to his leadership of Delaware State football and throughout the University.”
Lee Hull will be the 24th Head Coach to lead the Hornets program. Hopefully he brings the success he’s had at Morgan State here to Delaware State University and make a historic run. There will be growing pains just like any new coaching turnover in sports. So just have faith hornets fans and trust the process.
