Stony Brook Football Spring Notebook - Week 5

STONY BROOK, N.Y. – As the calendar is nearly set to turn to the month of May, the Stony Brook football program wraps up a successful Spring season. The Seawolves participated in a full Spring slate for the first time since 2019, and they took the necessary steps forward over the past five weeks as a program in preparation for the 2022 season.  

This past Saturday, the Seawolves played an offense-defense based intrasquad scrimmage that featured the offense picking up a 38-9 victory. The offense earned points in the traditional fashion, while a scoring system was in place that allowed the defense to earn points outside of scoring a touchdown or a safety. The defense also received points for the following: a stop prior to the offense crossing the 50-yard line was worth two points, a stop after the offense crossed the 50-yard line was worth one point, three and outs were two points, and turnovers were four points.

Following the game, Stony Brook honored its senior class that’s composed of Anthony Catapano, Eric DiCrescenzo, Tyquell Fields, Hunter Hayek, Brandon Lopez, Justin Morgan, Dajon Owens, Elias Reynolds, Danny Sanchez, Casey Williams, Mitchell Wright, and Regan Craig. 

The team also recognized its end of year award winners:  

Dan Flores Offensive Rookie of the Year – Roland Dempster

Defensive Rookie of the Year – Tyler King

Fred Kemp Award – Tyquell Fields

Frank Conti Workhorse Award – Kyle Nunez

Mark Motroni Award – Eric DiCrescenzo

Academic Achievement Award – Mitchell Wright

Ray Downey Special Team MVP Award – Mitchell Wright

Defensive MVP Award – Tyler King

Ernest Owusu Offensive MVP Award – Ty Son Lawton

On Wednesday, May 4, the Seawolves are hosting a Bone Marrow drive at East Side Dining and at the Academic Mall. We hope you can stop by sometime between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., swab your cheek, and become part of the national bone marrow registry.

Stony Brook returned to the field for a morning of practice on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the team was back in the community as several student-athletes volunteered at a local elementary school. Members of the team read books and participated in school yard games with the students. 

The Seawolves were in for a treat on Thursday. At the team’s morning meeting, Coach Priore surprised them by cancelling practice and informed them, that they would be making a trip to Topgolf. The guys tested their golf skills, some for the very first time, as they had a great team bonding experience.
