Delaware State Football Coach Lee Hull Excited About Infrastructure Upgrades and Indoor Training Facility

Delaware State University’s football program is on the rise, thanks to head coach Lee Hull’s efforts to restore the team to its former glory. One key component of this resurgence is the school’s commitment to upgrading its infrastructure, with the announcement of an indoor training facility that will be the first of its kind in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) football.

Coach Hull expressed his excitement about the new facility, emphasizing the impact it will have on recruiting. “The administration is putting money into the program; they understand that this is a critical time for DSU football and DSU athletics,” he stated. “Now you have what the players and recruits need to see.”

The indoor facility will include a 50-yard turf field, team rooms, and coaches’ offices, making it a state-of-the-art training space for the Hornets. This project is part of the Athletic Facilities Transformation initiative, led by DSU alum Steve Ewing, who donated $1 million to the athletics program last December. Former NFL wide receivers Darnerien McCants and Donald Driver are also part of the committee overseeing the upgrades.

Already, Alumni Stadium has seen improvements with a new scoreboard, logo, and locker rooms for both home and visiting teams. Coach Hull believes that these upgrades will make a significant difference in recruiting top talent to Delaware State.

With the indoor training facility set to be completed within the next two years, Coach Hull is confident that the Hornets will have a competitive edge in attracting recruits. “This will help us with recruiting tremendously because we’ll be the only HBCU with an indoor facility,” he said. Delaware State football is on the rise, and these infrastructure upgrades are paving the way for future success.
