Kaiden Bennett Joins Delaware State After Adams’ Exit

Delaware State University has acquired former Sacramento State quarterback Kaiden Bennett after the unexpected transfer of starting quarterback Marqui Adams just weeks before the season. Bennett, a dynamic dual-threat, had a standout 2023 season with 2,192 passing yards, 16 touchdowns through the air, 577 rushing yards, and six rushing touchdowns, leading Sacramento State to the FCS Playoffs and an upset victory over Stanford. He is expected to fill the void left by Adams, who was an FCS Freshman All-American in 2023. New head coach DeSean Jackson, a former NFL star in his first collegiate head coaching role, acted quickly to secure Bennett and signal a new era for the program. Bennett ranks third all-time in completion percentage at Sacramento State and brings proven experience to Delaware State, which has not won a conference title since 2007. The move is viewed as crucial for the Hornets' chances in the upcoming season.
