The University of Delaware's football team will be playing in Maryland one month from now, but the coaching staff is already making a bid to gain some of the state's talent. The Blue Hens extended an offer to Arundel wide receiver Alec Lemon (pictured) on Tuesday.

Lemon, who has camped at several schools this summer, said he felt Delaware was interested in him before he left on Sunday.

"I had a feeling with the way they were talking to me and how good I did, I felt like they were going to offer me," Lemon said. "We were hoping, but we didn't think they were going to do it that quick."

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Lemon attended the Delaware camp on Sunday and according to his father, Sean Asbury, the college called with the offer on Tuesday, July 29.

"At first I thought the recruiting coordinator was just talking about the meeting they had right after the camp. I thought he was going to talk about what they talked about during the meeting," Lemon added. "He asked me if I had any offers and I said Syracuse and Vanderbilt are real close, but none right now. He goes, well as of right now you have one from the University of Delaware."

This is the first offer for Lemon, who made 70 receptions for 969 yards and 13 touchdowns while helping Arundel to the Class 4A title game last season.

"It was a huge relief (getting the first offer) after all the stuff I've done this summer, all the camps I've went to, all the workouts I've done. It just shows how much it's paid off," Lemon said.

According to Asbury, Syracuse and Richmond have been in touch with Lemon and are close to offering the rising senior.
