Delta Devils' Top Performers:Â
- Whenever Alcorn snapped the pigskin, it was a safe bet that Jalen Wright lurked nearby as the Graduate Student exploded for a season-high 14 tackles, including six solo takedowns and one TFL.
- Cameron Nelson was the focal point of the offense, rattling off career-highs of six catches and 56 yards plus his fifth career touchdown.
- Dante Kelly (8) and Jusden Culpepper (7) were stat sheet stuffers with a combined 15 tackles, both setting season-highs in the process and each logging a half-TFL, the first of Kelly's career and the third straight contest with one for Culpepper.
- Jamari Stokes swatted down a personal-best three passes to lead the defensive backfield while elsewhere on that side of the ball, Kobe Byrd (6) and Prince Ijioma (5) raised their career benchmarks in tackles.
- Brandon Nunez logged a 2025-best four completions, Caleb Brownlow snagged a season-most three receptions, and Norman Taylor contributed his first ever multi-catch affair (2), going for a personal record of 20 yards through the air.
- In the kicking game, Marko Jovisic made both of his attempts, a 20-yard field goal and a point after try whereas Marko Dubak dropped the Braves deep in their own territory with his second punt downed in the red zone of the year.
Next:
- Into the eastern time zone Valley State will head next weekend, making a pit stop at the (Daytona) Beach to play Bethune-Cookman.
