Michael Mannino gives Stony Brook a freshman kicker with range and composure
In the 2025 season, Mannino flashed legitimate upside for Stony Brook: he was a perfect 11-for-15 on field goals and 25-for-25 on extra points, earned CAA Special Teams Player of the Week, and drilled a program-record 49-yard field goal, showing he can hit under pressure and from real college distance.[1][4] What makes him interesting beyond the box score is the multi-sport, high-academic background and special-teams pedigree that Stony Brook highlighted from Whitman, which suggests a poised, competitive kicker who could be a reliable fit if your team values upside and growth at the position.[11][6]
