STONY BROOK, N.Y. — Stony Brook alum Ryland Rees is bound for the Premier Lacrosse League.

Rees was one of 16 new players announced by the PLL on Tuesday who will be available during the 2020 Entry Draft on Monday.

Rees had earned a Major League Lacrosse All-Star game selection last July as a member of the Boston Cannons, but now is poised to switch to the PLL.

He currently is playing indoor lacrosse with the Rochester Knighthawks in the National Lacrosse League.

Rees has four goals and seven assists in 12 games.

He played for the Seawolves from 2016 through last season. He was an all-conference selection as a junior and senior long-stick midfielder. He completed his collegiate career with 15 goals, seven assists, 60 caused turnovers and 164 ground balls.

Rees likely will have an opportunity to return to Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium with the PLL this summer. The league is playing three games on Stony Brook's campus June 12-13. 

Stony Brook assistant coaches Mike Chanenchuk and Tommy Kelly also are expected to play at LaValle Stadium that weekend with the PLL.

"I am super excited to join the PLL and compete against the best players in the world," Rees said. "Being able to play at LaValle Stadium again, and being able to be back at Stony Brook and being able to see the teammates and friends I was able to make there, is the icing on the cake."
