CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Miguel Maysonet keeps getting Big South Conference accolades, despite not having played college football since 2012.
The former Stony Brook All-American and recent Seawolves' Athletics Hall of Fame inductee was named to the Big South Conference All-Decade team released by the league on Monday.
The Seawolves were members of the Big South Conference in football for five seasons from 2008 to 2012 and claimed a share of four conference championships, including 2010, 2011 and 2012 with the help of Maysonet.
Maysonet ran for over 1,000 yards in each of his three years as a Seawolf, helping the team reach its first two national playoff appearances in program history. The two-time Big South Offensive Player of the Year had a transcendent senior season, running for 1,964 yards which is the 11th most in FCS history while also becoming the conference's all-time leader in touchdowns.
Following his stellar senior campaign, Maysonet garnered numerous All-America honors and recognition and was the runner-up for the prestigious Walter Payton Award, which is given annually to the most outstanding offensive player in the FCS.
Maysonet's efforts did not go unnoticed as he was invited to the 2013 NFL combine and eventually signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. He went on to sign with seven other NFL franchises during his professional career.
A 15-person committee of Big South Conference administrators served as the official voting panel to determine the All-Decade Team. The 2010-19 Football All-Decade Team is listed below in alphabetical order and features one quarterback, three running backs, four wide receivers, one tight end, five offensive lineman, four defensive lineman, four linebackers, four defensive backs, one placekicker, one punter, one long snapper, two kick return specialists and one head coach. In case of ties, additional honorees have been added.
