Among the 2018 honorees is Russell Reeves, the defensive leader of the Hornets’ 2007 MEAC champion and NCAA Tournament football team. Reeves was selected as the 2007 MEAC Defensive Player-of-the-Year by the Pigskin Club of Washington and ranks third in team history in total tackles.

Delaware State’s first 1,000-yard passer, Eddie Epps, will also join the hall-of-fame. Epps passed for a then school-record 1,228 yards to help lead the Hornets to a seven-game win streak and an appearance in the post-season Orange Blossom Classic in 1977.
The latest DSU Hall-of-Fame class also includes Jerome Carter, a star defensive back for the Hornets before competing in the National Football League (Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers); and Calvin Mason, a three-time All-MEAC selection, twice as an offensive lineman and once at defensive tackle.

She was also the first student-athlete in school history selected to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Team.
Terence Hood, Delaware State’s fifth all-time men’s basketball scorer with 1,501 points, has also been selected for hall-of-fame induction. Hood is also fourth in team history with 194 three-point field goals.
The Delaware State equestrian program will have its first hall-of-fame member with the induction of Breann Huyett, also the first rider in team history to earn All-America recognition.
