The Seawolves competed in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) as first-year members of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA).

RB Miguel Maysonet, QB Kyle Essington, WR Kevin Norrell, OL Michael Bamiro, DB Dominick Reyes and Cedrick Moore were among the major losses for the team.

Maysonet played a crucial role in Stony Brook's running game being a finalist for the Walter Payton Award.

ESPN Radio Network will broadcast all Seawolves football games in Long Island as it looks to expand its footprint in the region.

As a result, Stony Brook scheduled Penn in an organized scrimmage with eleven regular season games.

As first year members of the CAA, Stony Brook will travel to Villanova Stadium to face-off against the preseason top-picked Wildcats.
