Delaware State duo Romain, Hurst teammates again, with Philadelphia Soul
VOORHEES, New Jersey — James Romain and Tyron Hurst have found themselves in a new environment, but with plenty of friendly, familiar faces nearby to provide support and guidance.
The two former Delaware State University football players are in their first season with the Philadelphia Soul. Along with former Caesar Rodney and Wesley College star Bryan Robinson, they form a solid Delaware contingent on the Arena Football squad.
And all three players are making an impact for the Soul (8-5), who seek their fourth win in a row at Cleveland (2-11) tonight.
“It makes it feel like home,” said Hurst, a 6-foot-2, 318-pound defensive lineman who graduated from Dover High. “We’ve got B-Rob, James Romain, and it just feels good to be playing back on the East Coast.”
Hurst, 27, and Romain, 25, came to the Soul following stints in the Indoor Football League. They played together on the Fairbanks Grizzles IFL team in Alaska two years ago.
