DOVER, Delaware — Travis Tarpley can laugh about it now, but he still remembers looking for someplace to hide after fumbling away the opening kickoff to Delaware State’s football season last year at Virginia Military Institute.
But Tarpley didn’t dwell on the miscue for too long. He went on to score the Hornets’ first touchdown of the season by catching a 19-yard pass from Nick Elko in DSU’s 24-21 win.
“I was so excited, getting all nervous and everything, and then I fumbled,” said Tarpley, a 5-foot-7, 175-pound wide receiver and kick returner. “This [Saturday], hopefully I’ll get another chance to take a crack at it, and I’m going to try to take it to the house this year.”
Tarpley, a redshirt senior, promises to play a key role when Delaware State hosts Virginia Military Institute at Alumni Stadium in its season opener on Saturday at 2 p.m.
