Stony Brook, N.Y. - Closing out the year in style, the Stony
Brook football team held the 2012 Grant Family Banquet at the
Student Activities Center on campus Sunday. Head coach Chuck
Priore handed out the team's awards and announced the 2013
captains.
The Ernest Owusu Offensive MVP went to senior Miguel Maysonet
(Riverhead, N.Y.). Maysonet, a finalist for the Walter Payton
Award, given to the outstanding player in FCS, rushed for 1,964
yards, the 11th most yards in a season in FCS history, and
scored 23 total touchdowns. The 5-10, 210-pound back accounted
for more than 100 rushing yards in a game six times and had
three games with 200 or more yards in 2012. During a four-game
span, he rushed for a career-high three times, capped by a
233-yard, two-touchdown performance at Coastal Carolina.
Senior Dominick Reyes (Hesperia, Calif.) captured the team's
Defensive MVP award. Reyes finished the season with a
career-best 75 tackles, becoming the Seawolves' all-time leader
with 158 solo tackles. He was second on the team with 9.0
tackles for loss, starting each game for a third straight
season.
Redshirt freshman Naim Cheeseboro (King of Prussia, Pa.)
garnered the Ray Downey Special Teams MVP. The special teams ace
made 26 tackles, often being the first player downfield on
kick-off coverage. His recovery of a free kick against Villanova
helped the Seawolves extend their lead in the first-round
victory.
The Offensive Rookie of the Year went to junior Marcus Coker
(Beltsville, Md.). Coker, a transfer from Iowa, rushed for 1,018
yards and 9 TDs, giving the Seawolves two backs with 1,000 yards
for a third straight season. Eight of his nine scores were
inside four yards.
Junior Leston Simpson (Springfield Gardens, N.Y.) led Stony
Brook with 10.0 tackles for loss en route to Defensive Rookie of
the Year honors. Simpson, who finished second among all
defensive linemen with 35 tackles, also made four sacks, and
totaled a career-high seven tackles against Pace and Coastal
Carolina.
Senior Kyle Essington (Chino Hills, Calif.) earned the Fred Kemp
Award, given to the upperclassman who is dedicated to excellence
on and off the field, while leading the team with pride and
intensity. The Mark Motroni Award, which goes to the
upperclassman who demonstrates great pride in the Stony Brook
football program and consistently exhibits unselfish dedication
to the team, was awarded to senior Chris Fenelon (Bellerose,
N.Y.).
For a second straight year, senior Jonathan Coats (Elmira
Heights, N.Y.) received the Frank Conti Work Horse Award and
junior Victor Spinelli (Northport, N.Y.) earned the Academic
Achievement Award.
Priore also announced that seniors Davonte Anderson (Corona,
Calif.), Michael Bamiro (Tobyhanna, Pa.), Jawara Dudley
(Roosevelt, N.Y.) and Matt Faiella (Freehold, N.J.) will be the
2013 captains.
A special thanks goes to Alphonzo Grant '93, '94 and Isis
Sapp-Grant '93 for sponsoring the dinner, Mark Motroni, Jr. '88
for sponsoring the awards and Mike Derice '08 for sponsoring the
coaches' table.
Thanks to John Campolettano, Jr., Chuck Downey '88, Steven Mardy
'05, Jim Megna '89, Dan Michitsch '07, Stu Sharoff '88, Roberto
Tillman '78, Tony Thompson '97 and Sean Van Slyck '95 for

Great video. Someone to watch out for next year is Ricard. He
really made or was involved in a lot of big plays in the video.

Watching our guys garner AA awards, all Big South reminds a
little of baseball last season. Seven players went to the
majors to start hopefully geat careers. We are drawing really
talented kids and yes Warney almost had another double -double
last night. Missed by 1 rebound!

Do any of you know if the Walter Payton Award ceremony tonight
is to be televised or broadcast anywhere live? I've been
looking, but no luck so far.
I'd sure like to see Maysonnet accept it in real time!!! Go
Miguel!!

Yep, the QB usually get the awards. Manziel got the Heisman when
many people thought Mati Te'o should have won , both great
athletes but because Manziel is a QB he wins !!
