DeAngelo Branche was a MEAC bell cow who turned Norfolk State into a ground-game problem
In the 2010 season, DeAngelo Branche powered Norfolk State with 1,330 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, earning All-MEAC and Black College All-America honors while finishing as the program’s all-time leading rusher. He was more than just production: multiple sources describe him as a reliable, downhill back who could carry a heavy workload and deliver in big moments, including a 212-yard, three-touchdown finale. For a team, that means a proven every-down runner with game-changing burst, toughness, and a résumé that screams instant trust.
