Jo Silver News, Rumors, Updates - Delaware Blue Hens

Surpasses 100 yards in win Silver totaled 14 carries for 116 yards and one touchdown and reeled in their only target for two yards during Wednesday's 20-13 win over Louisiana.

Impact Silver had just his second 100-yard rushing performance of the year in the Blue Hens' bowl game, but it came at a good time as Delaware outlasted Louisiana to move to 7-6 in its first ever FBS season. Silver had a career year as a senior, rushing for 652 yards and five scores on 5.5 yards per carry.

Delaware holds off Louisiana 20-13 for 68 Ventures Bowl win in first season of FBS play

Jo Silver ran for 116 yards, including a 61-yard touchdown, and Delaware wrapped up its first year in the FBS with a 20-13 victory over Louisiana in the 68 Ventures Bowl

Rushes for TD in return Silver ran seven times for 64 yards and a touchdown against UTEP on Saturday. He added two catches for 20 yards.

Impact Silver returned after missing two games with an injury. The senior managed to get himself over 500 rushing yards on the season while adding his fifth touchdown. Silver may get to play in a bowl game, but only if there is an open spot to be filled. Delaware joined the FBS this season.

Cleared to play Week 14 Silver (undisclosed) is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against UTEP.

Impact After missing back-to-back games to injury, Silver will take the field as the team's lead back. The senior running back has totaled 98 carries for 472 yards and three touchdowns while reeling in 26 receptions for 200 yards and one more score. He will look to make an immediate impact upon his return from injury.

Out for Week 13 Silver (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at Wake Forest.

Impact For Week 13, Delaware's team will be without its top running back, still recovering from some sort of problem that kept him out for Week 12. Delaware's 2025 team will conclude its regular season Nov. 29 against UTEP, giving him a whole week to recover.

NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing in Week 12 Silver (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at Sam Houston.

Impact Not having Silver as the lead threat out of the backfield will be a huge issue for Delaware, as the senior tailback has racked up 98 carries for 472 yards and three touchdowns. This means Viron Ellison and Greg Spiller will be the most likely options to handle the rushing duties in this matchup. Silver's next chance to play will come in Week 13 against Wake Forest.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Another light day Silver ran 10 times for 21 yards and had two catches for 10 yards against Louisiana Tech on Saturday.

Impact For the second game in a row Silver had poor numbers. However, Week 12 could see him turn things around. Delaware is facing Sam Houston, who has perhaps the worst defense in the FBS. If Silver can't produce there, then he's in trouble.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Light day of work Silver ran six times for 25 yards and had three catches for 10 yards Saturday versus Liberty.

Impact It's not so much that Silver ran the ball poorly, but Delaware fell behind big early, and that means a lot of throwing the ball instead of running it. Next week against Louisiana Tech might be tough, but keep Silver in mind for Week 12 against lowly Sam Houston.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Better on the ground Silver ran 14 times for 51 yards and had two catches for 27 yards versus MTSU on Wednesday.

Impact This is good for Silver after he only ran for two yards last week against JSU. In that game he had four catches for 63 yards, though, and he's had at least 55 total yards in every game.

OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Saves day with receiving numbers Silver only ran for two yards on six carries Wednesday against JSU, but he added four catches for 63 yards.

Impact While Silver has averaged 5.5 yards per carry on the season, over his last two games he's averaged 2.1 yards per carry. However, in both of those two games he's been over 50 yards receiving.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Totals over 100 yards Silver ran 17 times for 47 yards and had five catches for 55 yards Friday against WKU.

Impact The 2.8 yards per carry average is not good, but the receiving numbers help. Silver is clearly the lead back for the Blue Hens, and he has three games with at least four catches as well.

Rushes for TD Silver tan 13 times for 66 yards and a score Saturday against FIU.

Impact Silver broke through last week with 179 yards and two touchdowns against UConn. He wasn't quite as good this week, but 5.1 yards per carry and a touchdown in a win over a conference rival is nothing to sneeze at.
