Shamel Lazarus brings length, experience, and steady back-end versatility to Stony Brook
A 6-foot-2 defensive back from Queens, Shamel Lazarus gives Stony Brook a long, experienced presence on the perimeter after time at UConn and multiple seasons in the Seawolves program. In his 2022 season at Stony Brook, he totaled 25 tackles, including a season-best 10 tackles with 0.5 tackles for loss against Maine, which shows he can show up as a reliable run-support defender when called on. His biggest selling points are size, experience, and a proven feel for physical football from NYC prep power Erasmus Hall—exactly the kind of no-nonsense DB who can help a secondary settle in.
