Petey Wilks Jr. brings veteran size, local grit, and academic consistency to Stony Brook’s defensive front
Petey Wilks Jr. is a Brooklyn-born defensive lineman for Stony Brook whose profile is built on power, experience, and steady development; he was listed at 6-0, 275 pounds in Stony Brook’s 2020 roster and came to the Seawolves after a prep career at Erasmus Hall, where he logged 35 tackles and 3 sacks as a senior. His differentiator is the “blue-collar” interior presence: a thick, physical lineman who fits run-first, trench-war football and has earned academic recognition as well, which speaks to reliability and coachability rather than flash.
