Middletown will not have much time to settle into the season. The Cavaliers open Sept. 3 at home against Tottenville before facing Cardinal Hayes at Columbia University on Sept. 11. They complete the opening stretch Sept. 18 at Good Counsel. Middletown then has an open week before traveling to Smyrna on Oct. 2. Sussex Central visits Middletown on Oct. 9, followed by a home game against William Penn. The scheduled Oct. 23 game at Caravel Academy has been canceled, leaving Middletown with nine current regular-season games. The Cavaliers host Salesianum in a rematch of the 2025 Class 3A championship game on Oct. 30. Hodgson visits the following week before Middletown closes the regular season at Appoquinimink.

DJ Davis — WR/DB, 2027 Davis is a Wisconsin commitment and one of Delaware’s most prominent Class of 2027 prospects. He can contribute at receiver, defensive back and on special teams, giving Middletown a player capable of changing the game in several different ways. Tysir Young — LB, 2028 Young enters his junior season as one of the most important players in Middletown’s defensive front seven. His range and physicality give the Cavaliers a young linebacker capable of affecting both the running game and passing lanes. Michel Adams — EDGE, 2028 Adams gives Middletown length and pressure ability off the edge. His continued development could help the Cavaliers create problems for opposing quarterbacks without having to bring additional defenders. Hanif Miller — RB, 2027 Miller provides experience in the backfield and should be part of Middletown’s plan to establish a consistent running game. His production will become especially important during the opening three-game stretch. Mekhi Corbin — LB/RB, 2027 Corbin can contribute on both sides of the football. His versatility gives Middletown another option at running back and an experienced presence in the linebacker group. Josiah Guiro-Scretching — OL/DL, 2027 Guiro-Scretching provides size and experience along the line. His ability to contribute on both sides could become valuable against the larger fronts Middletown will face early in the season. Brayden Felts — OT, 2027 Felts is another important member of Middletown’s offensive line. The Cavaliers will need dependable protection and consistent run blocking against Tottenville, Cardinal Hayes and Good Counsel. Arric Dawkins — RB, 2028 Dawkins gives Middletown another young option in the backfield. His development could provide the Cavaliers with additional depth and explosiveness as the season progresses.
