Staten Island, NY – Freshman receiver
Jaylen Bonelli of the Wagner College football team was named the Northeast Conference (NEC) Rookie of the Week, the league announced on Monday.
Bonelli earns the award for the second time this season after leading the Seahawks with four receptions for 104 yards in Thursday night's game at Saint Francis U.
Eclipsing the century mark for the first time in his collegiate career, Bonelli became the first Wagner true freshman to go for 100 yards receiving since Joe Kinard in 2004.
Bonelli also earned the award following Wagner's win over Merrimack. On the season, the first-year Seahawk has 15 catches for a team-leading 265 yards and a touchdown.
Next up, the Seahawks will take on Central Connecticut on Saturday at noon.
