Hall of Fame
A standout offensive tackle, Michael Bamiro anchored the right side of Stony Brook's offensive line from 2010-12. He started 33 straight games at right tackle, delivering consistent protection and powerful run-blocking that helped elevate the Seawolves to national recognition. His presence up front was key to the program's back-to-back FCS playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012, seasons in which Stony Brook's rushing offense ranked among the top 10 in the country.
Bamiro's outstanding play earned him first-team All-Big South and AP All-America honors in 2012. After Stony Brook, he quickly made the jump to the professional level, signing with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2013. He went on to play professionally at three different levels: New York Giants (National Football League), Montreal Alouettes (Canadian Football League), and the Washington Valor (Arena Football League).
Bamiro's legacy is part of a broader family tradition at Stony Brook. He joins his brother, David, as a Stony Brook Athletics Hall of Famer, while another brother, Solomon, made his mark in basketball at Stony Brook before joining the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters.
