Reilly was the catalyst of a Wagner defense that held Stonehill to one touchdown and a season-low 192 yards on Saturday. The veteran from Manalapan, NJ totaled a season-high 12 tackles, including a career-best 10 solo stops, and had one sack for a loss of 10 yards in the convincing 28-7 road win. Most impressively, Reilly and the Seahawks held the NEC’s top rushing team well below their season average of 225.0 yards per game after limiting the Skyhawks to a season-low 52 yards on the ground in the triumph. The 6-foot-1 defensive back enters the week ranked eighth in the NEC in tackles per game (6.7), while his 2.0 sacks this season are good for 13th overall. He is the first Seahawk to garner NEC Defensive Player of the Week honors in2024.
