“This is a great group of guys, who deserve this kind of recognition,” head coach Chuck Priore said. “As much as this is an individual award, it’s something this team can be proud of.”
Fenaroli was the unquestioned anchor of the offensive line this season. He blocked for two 1,000-yard rushers for the second time in his four years with the Seawolves. A preseason All-American, Fenaroli started 38 straight games at center during his illustrious career.
West, who did not appear on the preseason all-conference team but earned first-team honors in 2009, finished his career among the leading tacklers in school history. He tied for the team-lead with 85 tackles this season, tops among all defensive backs in the conference.
Jackolski rushed for more than 1,000 yards in his first season at Stony Brook, totaling 12 touchdowns (9 rushing, 2, receiving, 1 kick return). He rushed for more than 100 yards in six games this season, running for a season-high 183 yards against Charleston Southern. Jackolski also earned second-team all-conference as a kick returner.
Also in his first season at Stony Brook, Maysonet led the Seawolves with 14 touchdowns (12 rushing, 2 receiving). After rushing for 193 yards, the 11th most in school history, and three touchdowns against Coastal Carolina, he followed the following week with 195 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns against Charleston Southern. Maysonet and Jackolski became the first duo this season in Division I to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. It is also the second straight year that the Seawolves feature two backs on the first team.
Crew, who started 18 of the 20 games he appeared in, blocked for a rushing attack that ranked ninth in FCS with 218 yards per game. A versatile lineman, Crew started at left guard and right tackle during his career at Stony Brook.
Joining Jackolski on the second team were junior wide receiver Matt Brevi (Tampa, Fla.), sophomore linebacker Craig Richardson (Malden, Mass.) and sophomore placekicker Wesley Skiffington (Brandon, Fla.).
Brevi led the Seawolves’ receiving corps with 668 yards and five touchdowns. He caught touchdown passes of 67 and 61 yards, and his nine-catch 157-yard performance against Brown set career-highs.
Richardson started all 11 games, and tied West for the team-lead with 85 tackles. He recorded double-digit tackles in four games, and added two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
Skiffington nearly doubled his PAT output from a year ago (26-30), connecting on 44-of-46 attempts. He hit a career-long 44-yard field goal against VMI. Skiffington is up for the Fred Mitchell Award, given to the top kicker from FCS, Division II, Division III and NAIA.
Junior quarterback Michael Coulter (Yorba Linda, Calif.) was named the Big South Scholar-Athlete of the Year for football as well as earning a spot on the all-academic team. A biochemistry major with a 3.76 GPA, Coulter threw 17 touchdown passes and ran for another, as he’s in the top three all-time in school history with 35 passing touchdowns. He threw a career-high four touchdown passes against Presbyterian, and completed 65 percent of his passes during conference play.
“Being named the Scholar-Athlete of the Year is what being a Stony Brook football student-athlete is all about,” Priore said. “Michael is committed to excellence on the field, in the classroom and in the community.”
The Seawolves finished 5-1 in Big South play, as they became co-champions for the second straight year.
