9/7/2026 9:30:00 AM

STONY BROOK, N.Y. - Stony Brook football captain and wide receiver Seth Sweitzer has been named CAA Offensive Player of the Week following his performance in Thursday night's victory over Lindenwood, the CAA announced this morning.
 

Sweitzer, a native of Connecticut, becomes the first CAA Offensive Player of the Week from Stony Brook since quarterback Chris Zellous won the award last season on Sept. 15. He also became the first Seawolf to win a weekly award from the conference office this season and the first student-athlete since quarterback Quinn Boyd earned CAA Rookie of the Week honors on Nov. 24 of last season.

In a game where the Seawolves stormed back from a 22-7 deficit to take down Lindenwood 36-32, Sweitzer made a career-high 12 receptions for 157 yards and a touchdown. His 29-yard touchdown grab brought the Seawolves within 22-14 in the third quarter, while his 55-yard fourth-quarter catch set up a touchdown that cut the deficit to two. His 12 receptions are the most by a CAA player since 2024, and he is the 21st SBU player to exceed 150 receiving yards in a game.

For the season, Sweitzer leads the team with 238 receiving yards and 17 receptions and is one of two players on the roster with two touchdown catches this season, joining Keidan Gutierrez.
 

The Stony Brook football team is back on the road this weekend as they head to Indianapolis to battle Ball State University. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. and can be streamed live on ESPN+.
