2024 Signing Class Overview: Stony Brook Seawolves

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stony Brook brings in a brand new coaching staff and the Seawolves have a long line of New York success stories helping prospects get a chance at the next level. This new staff comes after a couple of "down year" to what was the usual Stony Brook standard and the one theme with the new changes are how young the new staff is featuring several young position coaches and one of the youngest head coaches in division 1 football in Billy Cosh who comes after one season as the offensive coordinator at Western Michigan. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the coaching change the recruiting turnover is always difficult with players leaving in the portal and having to flip a good portion of the roster with a preference to portal players over the few high school prospects that remain available at the time of a coaching change. These prospects below will be big additions to a Stony Brook program that has a clean slate going forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Ranked Recruit</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["314029"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='314029' first='Sebastian' last='Regis'] has a chance to be a dominant FCS player. The Stony Brook staff will be tasked with finding the best defensive position for Regis to have success at on the field and the dominate defensive prospect could end up playing anywhere from 3-tech to standup outside linebacker all depending on how his body develops in a college weight room. Regis is an explosive powerful athlete who plays with leverage and strong hands. His dominant wrestling career at a weight class well above his playing weight showcases his natural strength. Regis is a player who if 1-2 inches taller would have been a sure FBS level player and has a chance to dominate the CAA for years to come.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660c60e042854"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rest of the Class</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["211728"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Menghi - the top TE prospect in the class and one of the many skill position players from a 2022 St. Anthony's State Championship team to play Division 1 football is a really solid add for Stony Brook. Menghi enrolled early and has already participated in spring ball and can be a true in-line tight end for the Seawolves and be a consistent blocker and threat as a receiver with true 3-down ability at the position.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["253487"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Reeder the RB/LB from Holy Trinity has a long list of accolades and success at multiple levels of the NYCHSFL. With the skillset to develop on either side of the ball and likley a big special teams contributor Reeder has good instincts as a runner and LB and showcases good quickness and change of direction in his overall game. A college weight room may decide what side of the ball he plays on but Reeder has proven production and positional versatility for several years in New Yorks best high school league.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["627193"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='627193' first='Michael' last='Wheat'] is an extremely athletic athlete who played nearly every position in high school. Wheat is explosive and twitchy and has good play strength. Wheat is a player who is always involved around the ball and has a natural feel for the game with the ability to read and react as a defender. I think Wheat's best position will end up being safety or nickel corner at the next level but will likely earn his earliest work through special teams.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["528723"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Iorgoveanu out of Iona Prep was a really solid WR target and could have produced more if Iona Prep did not have such a balanced offense with playmakers at every position. Iorgoveanu can make plays after the catch and has a wide catch radius with really strong hands. He is able to catch away from his body and in traffic. Iorgoveanu is as consistent of a pass catcher as they come.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1208724"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Serrano out of West Babylon has a good frame for a LB and will be a solid addition to the Seawolves roster. With experience as a RB as well, Serrano plays with a high motor and is the type of player who ends up making plays because of effort alone. With the physicality and effort to his game Serrano will be a sure fire special teams contributor in his career with the ability to build and develop his game on top of that.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1209915"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Another West Babylon addition for Stony Brook. Borawski could be either a DT or C for the Seawovles and is a player that once he adds some weight and strength for the college level plays with the leverage and quickness. Borawski has strong hands and does a good job of shedding blocks at DT and creating knockback at the POA as a blocker.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660c60e04299e"} /-->
