DeLuca dislocated shoulder against CSU...............should be back for Iowa Hawkeyes game. Best to let him sit the 3 weeks, skip the pass happy EW game although he probably is the 5th best pass defender on the squad. Shoulder injuries can linger.........

Deluca was huge in helping Ndsu hold power 5 Iowa to 34 yards rushing......Ndsu has gathered in 2.175 million beating fbs level schools. Next up Oregon in 2020

DeLuca reportedly having season ending shoulder surgery. Hurt it in game 1 vrs. CSU, played thru it against EWU and now Iowa..................gets a medical redshirt year.

Bummer, was hoping he come out this year.

Suppose he still could, but I doubt it now.
