Delaney, one of the more remarkable stories in Division I FCS, turned his second collegiate start into his first NEC Rookie of the Week award. Despite playing without a left hand and wearing an insulin pump to control diabetes, the freshman defensive end made five tackles and broke up two passes in Albany’s road victory that knocked Sacred Heart from the undefeated ranks. Three of Delaney’s five tackles held SHU tailback Evin Jones to two yards or less, including his stop on the game’s first play from scrimmage.
