Delta State Statesmen Football 2025 Schedule
Delta State Statesmen Football 2025 Schedule
Delta State Football will have to face its biggest conference foes late in the season, but second-year starting quarterback Cole Kirk brings experience.
Delta State's 2023 quarterback Patrick Shegog left the Statesmen off on a promising ending, taking the squad to the second round of NCAA Division II Playoffs after throwing for 2,618 yards and over 30 touchdowns.

However, 2024 starter Cole Kirk couldn't quite match those expectations despite having a plethora of wide receivers and an ability to run the ball himself. He threw for 2,052 yards and 18 touchdowns alongside six interceptions through 10 games, and the Delta State offense was only outscoring their opponents by less than 10 points on average per game.
Kirk had plenty of options surrounding him, with six players hauling in over 100 yards each. Top receiver Jaylen Green caught 33 passes for 621 yards and nine touchdowns, but unfortunately has graduated and will not be returning to be with Kirk for another year.
However, the second-best wide receiver on the squad Neno Lemay will be at Kirk’s side in 2025. Lemay and fellow incoming senior Curtis Rearden are the only two of the six previously mentioned wide receivers to return.
Delta State’s main running back Kelvin Smith has also turned the page, but Kirk managed to rush for 415 yards and a team-high seven rushing touchdowns to keep up the run game. Rising junior Tamaj Hoffman could pull through to be the next starter, claiming 259 yards on 64 carries.
As head coach Todd Cooley enters his 13th season and second with Kirk at the helm, things could be looking up for the Statesmen if Cooley can channel some consistency like during the 2022-2023 span.
