Rankings from STATS Poll

The 2024 Stony Brook Seawolves football team represented Stony Brook University as a member of the Coastal Athletic Association Football Conference (CAA Football) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Seawolves were led by first-year head coach Billy Cosh. Stony Brook played their home games at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium located in Stony Brook, New York.

Under Cosh, Stony Brook recorded its most wins since 2017, its first winning season since 2018 and its highest FCS national ranking since 2018. He would win CAA Coach of the Year in his first season.[1] Stony Brook started the year 8–2 before losing its final two games and being listed as one of the first four teams out of the 2024 FCS playoffs.[2]

## Season

On November 13, 2023, Stony Brook fired head coach Chuck Priore after an 0–10 season, the first winless season in school history.[3] Billy Cosh was hired as his successor on December 13.[4]

On September 7, 2024, Stony Brook beat Stonehill 37–10, and it was the program's first win in 672 days.[5]

On October 19, 2024, quarterback Tyler Knoop threw for six touchdowns in a 52–24 win over Towson, breaking the previous program single-game record of five.[6] He went 34-for-40 with 387 yards, the fifth-most passing yards by a quarterback in Stony Brook history.[7] Following the win, Stony Brook was ranked No. 24 in the FCS Coaches poll for the first time since 2019.[8]

On October 26, 2024, Stony Brook defeated No. 16 William & Mary 35–13 on Homecoming. It was the program's first win over a ranked opponent since 2021.[9]
