Staten Island, NY - The Wagner Football Program will hold its annual Pro Day on Tuesday, March 10, as nine former Seahawks, along with several prospects from local colleges and universities, will take part in workouts and drills in front of NFL scouts.
More than 20 NFL teams are expected to attend, as scouts will measure each of the prospects' results in a variety of drills, including the bench press, 40-yard dash, standing long jump, shuttle runs and high jump, and positional workouts.
The Seahawks who will participate include All-American outside linebacker
Cam Gill, defensive linemen
Chris Williams,
Julian McCleod, and
Tevaughn Grant, linebacker
Santoni Graham, defensive backs
Myron Morris,
Khaliq Byard, and
Drew Daniel, along with fullback
Ben Sieczkowski.
Wagner was the only Northeast Conference (NEC) school with two active players in the NFL during the 2019-2020 season in Buffalo Bills linebacker Julian Stanford and offensive tackle
Greg Senat, who went on to win the Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs earlier in February.
Most recently, former Seahawk All-American
Ryan Fulse became the latest Wagner player to sign a professional contract, as he signed with the Canadian Football League's BC Lions.
Seahawks Participating In The Pro Day:
Cam Gill - Linebacker
Gill finished his Seahawk career as one of Wagner's most decorated players ever, as he was recently named a STATS FCS First Team All-American, Hero Sports FCS Second Team All-American, Associated Press Third Team All-American, and All-ECAC First Team selection, while playing in the Prestigious East-West Shrine Bowl. The Douglasville, GA native became the fifth player in NEC history to repeat as the league's top defensive player and finishes his collegiate career as the conference's all-time sack leader with 34 career sacks. This season, the dynamic outside linebacker led the league with 9.5 sacks while accumulating 20 tackles for loss and 60 overall stops in 12 games. Gill also received an invitation to compete in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl while finishing as a finalist for the FCS' Buck Buchanan Award, the top defensive player in the country.
Chris Williams - Defensive Line
A strong playmaker in the middle of Wagner's defense, Williams earned his second consecutive All-NEC honor and first appearance on the first team in 2019. Williams jumped on the scene for NFL scouts earlier this year, when he participated in the prestigious East-West Shrine Bowl alongside his teammate
Cam Gill. Williams dominated opposing offensive lines all season, finishing with 62 tackles, including four sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss. Williams recorded two sacks in Wagner's victory over LIU on September 28 and led the Green and White with 11 total tackles in the season-opener at FBS member UConn.
Santoni Graham - Linebacker
Graham finished his Seahawk career as a three-time captain and repeated as an All-NEC First Team selection at linebacker. Graham recorded 84 tackles on the year to once again lead the Seahawks defensively. In Wagner's loss to Sacred Heart, Graham led the Seahawks with 10 tackles and recorded the 300
th tackle of his career. Graham finished his career with 317 total stops, which ranks eighth all-time.
Tevaughn Grant - Defensive Line
The third member of the Seahawk front seven to earn All-NEC recognition, Grant finished his collegiate career with career highs in every major defensive category. Making the switch from outside linebacker to defensive end, Grant recorded a season-high 2.5 sacks along with a fumble recovery in the Seahawks' victory over LIU, while finishing the season with 42 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, and five total sacks.
Julian McCleod - Defensive Line
McCleod finished the 2019 season with 38 total tackles and three sacks, including consecutive games with sacks against Robert Morris and Duquesne. The Florida native played in all 45 games of his Seahawk career and finished with 102 total tackles, setting new career highs each season.
Myron Morris - Defensive Back
Morris Appeared in all 12 games in 2019, recording 15 solo tackles and 25 total tackles, while adding two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), and six pass break-ups. Morris showed that he can perform on the big stage, as he recorded an interception against Syracuse in the Carrier Dome in 2018 before scoring Wagner's first touchdown of the season in 2019, a 71-yard interception return against UConn. As the Seahawks' team's primary kick returner, Morris averaged 24.5 yards per return, including two 40+ yard returns and eight 30+ yard returns in 2019.
Drew Daniel - Defensive Back
Appeared in career-high 11 games in his only year as a Seahawk, joining the team as a graduate transfer. Daniel recorded 30 tackles, 3 for loss, while intercepting a pass against Duquesne. Daniel's career game came against Saint Francis, where he recorded 10 tackles (one for loss), forced and recovered a fumble, and broke up three pass attempts.
Khaliq Byard - Linebacker
Khaliq Byard finished his Seahawk career by setting career-bests with 15 solo tackles and 35 total tackles on the season, including three for loss. The hard-hitting Byard recorded season-high five solo tackles and nine total tackles for 14 total tackle performance against Stony Brook. Byard looks to follow his brother's footsteps, as Kevin Byard is currently an All-Pro Safety for the Tennessee Titans.
Ben Sieczkowski - Fullback
A powerful fullback throughout his time on Grymes Hill,
Ben Sieczkowski Appeared in all 12 games as a senior, hauling in six catches for 61 yards on season, including two 2-reception games and season-high 28 yards against Stony Brook. His first collegiate touchdown, an eight-yard reception vs. Saint Francis U, came in the third quarter of the Seahawks' spirited 23-22 come-from-behind victory over the Red Flash in 2018, while also serving as the lead blocker for All-American running back
Ryan Fulse.
