DeNicola brings high-IQ, blue-collar linebacker depth to Stony Brook
Anthony DeNicola is a tough, versatile linebacker who finally cracked the rotation in 2024, appearing in 10 games and producing a season-high three tackles against Stonehill while adding stops against William & Mary and New Hampshire. Stony Brook’s roster notes show a strong high-school pedigree too: a two-year captain, four-year starter, and 205-tackle prep defender with 35 tackles for loss and six fumble recoveries, which points to instincts and physicality more than flashy box-score production. He looks like a reliable fit for a team that values effort, experience, and dependable depth in the middle of the defense.
