before being replaced by Al Brent, a former All-America Football Conference (AAFC) player. Dick Smith became head coach in 1961, the year they were renamed to the Wolverines. He was replaced in 1967 by Bob Andrus, who eventually coached for 21 seasons. Andrus played a significant role in turning Wesley from a junior college team to a four-year program, which he accomplished in 1986. He was able to transition them to the NCAA's Division III. However, he was fired after two seasons without a single win. Afterwards they hired Tim Keating, who remained there until 1993. After Keating left the school, Mike Drass, an assistant since 1989, was promoted to the head coach position. Drass later became one of the most important coaches in school history, serving from 1993 until his death in 2018. As coach, the Wolverines compiled a 229–61–1 record, becoming one of the top teams in Division III. At the time of his death, they had made the playoff tournament for 15 consecutive years, but were not able to win any championships. His winning percentage of .789 ranked among the top ten all-time. The team's stadium was renamed Drass Field at Scott D. Miller Stadium after his death in 2018. Chip Knapp, an assistant to Wesley since 1989, was promoted to head coach as a replacement. He led them to a 17–6 record in his first two years. In July 2020, it was announced that Delaware State University would acquire the college, ending the athletics program. The 2020 season, scheduled to be their last, was cancelled due to COVID-19. A schedule in Spring 2021 was later released, with three games originally scheduled. They lost the first against the Salisbury Sea Gulls 30–32, in the final game of the Route 13 rivalry. Following back-to-back road wins, Wesley scheduled a final game against Stevenson to finish with a home game. The game was cancelled, leading the school to quickly schedule another game with Lackawanna College. It was cancelled following a COVID-19 outbreak at Lackawanna. The school officially closed on July 1, 2021.
