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 61-31NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • Associated Press
Sean Wilson - Notches 52 yards Wilson caught four passes for 52 yards against UTEP on Saturday.
Impact Wilson only caught two touchdowns, but he emerged this season with 58 catches for 769 yards. He was a true sophomore this year, but of course, now the question becomes if he parlays this into a transfer to a bigger program.

Jake Thaw - Catches two TDs Thaw caught five passes for 72 yards and two touchdowns versus UTEP on Saturday.
Impact Thaw's only touchdown this season had been against FCS program Delaware State. The redshirt senior left it late, but if this ends up his last collegiate game he managed to score his first touchdown against an FBS team.

Kyre Duplessis - Gets over 100 yards Duplessis caught four passes for 104 yards versus UTEP on Saturday.
Impact Duplessis didn't get in the end zone, and he didn't reel in a ton of passes, but he did get over 100 yards after totaling 19 over his prior two games. This game got him over 700 yards on the season, and leaves him just shy of 800 yards. If the Blue Hens are able to secure a bowl game, he should be able to get to 800, and maybe even 900, yards.

Jo Silver - 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.

Nick Minicucci - 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.

Eric Willis III - Catches TD Willis caught four passes for 23 yards and a score Saturday versus Delaware.
Impact It's nice that the senior got a chance to return after missing UTEP's last game, and that he got to catch a touchdown. While college eligibility feels increasingly flexible these days, this could have been Willis' final game.
