DelState defense eyes big season

DOVER, Delaware — Davon Moore arrived at Delaware State University without a scholarship but with big ambitions.

A preferred walk-on from Mount Vernon High in New York, Moore only had interest from Stony Brook University on Long Island and the University of New Haven in Connecticut along with DSU.

He came to Dover and bided his time until an opportunity came his way.

That included redshirting his first year before seeing time in 10 games in 2011 where he racked up 23 tackles. Last year he became a full-time starter at strong safety and had his breakout season, making the All-MEAC first team.

“I was waiting for my chance and I got it last season,” Moore said.

Moore led the Hornets in tackles (97) and interceptions (4) and was third in the conference in both categories in 2012.
