“This is very personal for me,” the new head coach said. “Rejuvenating the football program and making winners of our student-athletes in the classroom, in the community, as well as on the field, is my top priority.”

The Hornets finished the season 2-8 in 2017, with close wins against South Carolina State and Morgan State.
