Homecoming 2006 A promising sophomore quarterback will lead a young Bears team as Morgan State University takes on Delaware State University Saturday, October 21st in what is being billed as Homecoming 2006 “The Evolution of Champions.” “Alumni can expect to see the Morgan Bears play a great football game at Hughes Stadium, and to participate in other campus activities,” said Floyd Kerr, MSU athletic director. Byron Selby, a product of Baltimore’s Dunbar High School, led the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in passing last year. Anxious to improve on last year’s disappointing 2-9 record, the team will also look for big contributions from senior running back Craig Nelson and wide receiver, Jai Wilson. The Bears face a tough challenge in the Delaware State Hornets, who return 11 starters, including seven on offense. They surprised many last year, posting a solid 6-2 record in conference play.
