Sullivan is from Manasquan, NJ, but he was living in Wagner’s backfield this past Saturday. The junior linebacker made 4.5 tackles for a loss, including 3.5 quarterback sacks, during Monmouth’s 38-17 victory over Outer Bridge rival Wagner.  Sullivan’s efforts spearheaded a defense that limited Wagner to nine first downs and 145 yards of total offense. The explosive Sullivan recorded a team-high nine tackles (7 solo)  and was also credited with a forced fumble and two quarterback hurries. He sacked Nick Doscher on Wagner’s first play from scrimmage, sending the Seahawks on their way to a 3-and-out.  Sullivan later derailed three consecutive Wagner drives with a trio of solo sacks in the second quarter. The third sack forced a fumble at Wagner’s 23-yard line and gave Monmouth a last-second chance to add to its 28-10 lead right before halftime.
