Howard lost to Delaware State, 17-10, in its season opener during the 2021 spring season. Howard did not play in the fall due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Scott enters his first head coaching position following seven seasons as an assistant at Power Five schools: Miami (2013-15, tight ends and interim head coach), Tennessee (2016-17, tight ends and offensive coordinator) and Florida (2018-19, tight ends).

Howard led the contest, 3-2, heading into the fourth quarter. Delaware State would outscore the Bison, 15-7, in the final quarter of play.

Part of Delaware State’s fourth quarter scoring included a 41-yard interception by Esaias Guthrie with 2:06 remaining.

Howard will return to action March 6 against South Carolina State.
