Stony Brook’s anchor up front and a preseason All-America-level leader
Papic enters 2026 as a proven, durable interior blocker for Stony Brook: he was a 2025 team captain, started every game in 2024 after returning from a 2023 season-ending injury, and earned Phil Steele Fourth Team All-America plus All-CAA recognition. Reliable reports credit him with helping power an offense that improved by nearly 90 yards per game and ran through a line that led the CAA in time of possession. If you want a tone-setter with size, experience, and high-end consistency, he’s a strong fit.
