Former All-Pro running back Clinton Portis joined the Delaware State coaching staff of DeSean Jackson.
Portis played nine seasons in the NFL with the Washington franchise and Denver Broncos, who traded the 2002 Rookie of the Year for cornerback Champ Bailey after two seasons.
Portis, 43, compiled 9,923 career rushing yards and was a Pro Bowl selection in 2003 and 2008 in Washington. He was named second-team All-Pro in 2008 and last played in 2010.
Jackson, 38, was hired as a first-time head coach following a 1-11 season in 2024. The Hornets were 0-5 in the MEAC and last posted a winning season in 2012 (6-5).
Delaware State also announced Jackson would lead the team against Norfolk State, which hired former Eagles teammate Michael Vick as head coach. Delaware State is scheduled to host the game Nov. 1.
Jackson last played for the Baltimore Ravens in 2022. He is best known for two stints with the Eagles (2008-13, 2019-20) and played for a total of six teams in a 15-year NFL career that featured three Pro Bowl selections. Jackson caught 641 passes for 11,263 yards and 58 touchdowns, adding four rushing touchdowns and four punt return touchdowns in 183 career games.
