Nick Minicucci News, Rumors, Updates - Delaware Blue Hens

Liberty's Chadwell eyes a Conference USA rebound after surgery and a 4-8 stumble

Liberty coach Jamey Chadwell has been looking forward to the upcoming season perhaps more than any other

6 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Quiet in bowl win Minicucci was 19-for-30 passing for 176 yards and one touchdown during Wednesday's 20-13 win versus Louisiana. He also had six rushes for four yards.

Impact Wednesday night was a big win for Delaware, its first ever bowl victory in its first ever FBS season. Its starting quarterback didn't need to do all that much, however, tossing for one touchdown and protecting the ball. His 5.9 yards per attempt was one of his lowest on the season, but again, the Blue Hens survived without stellar quarterback play. Minicucci has one more year of eligibility remaining, and could certainly garner some eyeballs in the transfer portal if he looks for a bigger pond.

Delaware wraps up first FBS season with 61-31 rout of UTEP

Nick Minicucci threw three touchdown passes, the Delaware defense intercepted five passes, and the Blue Hens blew out UTEP 61-31

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • Associated Press

Totals four TDs Minicucci went 24-for-38 for 311 yards and three touchdowns and ran 10 times for 47 yards and a touchdown against UTEP on Saturday.

Impact Technically, Delaware is now bowl eligible, but as a team new to the FBS will only play in a bowl if there is a spot left remaining. Minicucci wasn't even supposed to be the starter this year, but he took over in the opener when Zach Marker went down and he proceeded to throw over 20 touchdowns with 10 rushing scores as well. Next season Minicucci will either be the guy for Delaware, or he will be starting for another program.

NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • Associated Press

Throws TD in partial action Minicucci went 21-for-30 for 140 yards and lost a fumble against Wake Forest on Saturday.

Impact Minicucci didn't play the whole game, but owing to this being a blowout and Delaware needing to win next week against UTEP for potential bowl eligibility. This was always the likely way this game was going to go, so no real reason for worry.

Battles illness, turnovers Minicucci went 24-for-36 for 338 yards one touchdown, and one interception against Sam Houston on Saturday. He ran for a touchdown, but was also sacked eight times and lost a fumbl...

Impact Minicucci played through "flu-like symptoms," but he definitely seemed to be feeling less than great. The Bearkats have a terrible defense, and Minicucci is usually fleet of foot. Getting sacked eight times and turning it over twice is pretty brutal, especially since Delaware lost in what should have been an easy win.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • Associated Press

Playing through illness Minicucci is dealing with flu-like symptoms but is starting Saturday's game against Sam Houston, Sports of SHSU reports.

Impact Minicucci was labeled questionable on Delaware's injury report due to illness, but he's feeling well enough to start the contest. He's thrown for 300 or more yards in four of his last five games, though he's thrown four interceptions in that span.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 12 Minicucci (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Sam Houston.

Impact Minicucci is at risk of missing his first game of the season, though it's unclear exactly what is ailing the quarterback. If he misses Saturday's contest, Riley Trujillo would be in line to start.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two TDs, two INTs Minicucci went 26-for-52 for 304 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions against La Tech on Saturday. He also ran nine times for 55 yards.

Impact The interceptions aren't great, but Minicucci only has six picks on the season. That's against 17 passing touchdowns, and he's added 231 yards and eight scores on the ground.

Three TDs and an INT Minicucci went 29-for-49 for 344 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against Liberty on Saturday. He also ran eight times for 37 yards and a score.

Impact Delaware was down 28-9 at halftime, which is to say that Minicucci had a lot of reason to air it out in the second half to try and make it a game. Minicucci has 15 passing touchdowns against four picks on the season, and he's rushed for eight scores as well. He started the season as the backup, but he's really made a case to start for Delaware (or another program) in 2026.

Throws four TDs Minicucci went 27-for-42 for 276 yards and four touchdowns against MTSU on Wednesday.

Impact Minicucci has been racking up touchdowns this season. This is his fifth game with at least three touchdowns, which is pretty impressive for the guy who was supposed to be the backup this year.

OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Throws a ton in loss Minicucci went 32-for-50 for 422 yards and a touchdown against JSU on Wednesday, adding 13 yards on the ground.

Impact The Blue Hens' defense couldn't stop JSU's torrid run game, leading Minicucci to throw the ball a bunch to try and keep the game competitive. For a guy that wasn't expected to start this season, Minicucci has held his own, and clearly his coaches believe in letting him throw the ball when needed.

21-point second-quarter swing sends Delaware past FIU, 38-16

Nick Minicucci threw for 218 yards and three touchdowns, Jo Silver had 66 rushing yards and one touchdown, and Delaware defeated Florida International, 38-16 on Saturday night

SEPTEMBER 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Throws three touchdowns Minicucci went 23-for-35 for 218 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception against FIU on Saturday.

Impact This is the third game of the season wherein Minicucci had at least three touchdowns. The only game where he didn't was a road trip to Colorado, and he threw for over 300 yards in that game. Not bad for a guy who only got into the lineup because Zach Marker injured his leg.

Delaware beats UConn 44-41 win in overtime for first FBS win as an FBS team

Nick Minicucci rushed for a 13-yard touchdown in overtime, giving Delaware a 44-41 victory over UConn on Saturday, its FBS win as an FBS team

SEPTEMBER 13, 2025 • Associated Press

Throws for over 300 yards Minicucci went 18-for-36 for 312 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against Colorado on Saturday.

Impact With starter Zack Marker going down with a leg injury last week, Minicucci stepped in and totaled four touchdowns. Marker is likely out for the season, so Minicucci was effectively stepping into the starter role. It was a mixed back, but the Blue Hens coaches let the junior air it out, and he threw for over 300 yards in his first game against an FBS opponent.

Throws for over 300 yards Minicucci went 18-for-36 for 312 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against Colorado on Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Minicucci may be slated to start with Zach Marker (leg) likely out for 2025, SSN - Delaware reports.

Impact Delaware's head coach Ryan Carty said that Marker will "probably" sit out 2025, so the Blue Hens require someone else under center. During their FBS season's first game, Week 1 against Delaware State, Minicucci replaced the injured Marker and logged four touchdowns. Delaware's team has valid reason to continue using Minicucci.
