Stony Brook is in the house! Finally.
Will Tye became the first product of Stony Brook University to be signed to the active roster of an NFL team on Saturday when the Giants promoted the tight end from their practice squad. He is expected to make his pro debut on Sunday against the Bills.
The Giants made the roster move because two of their other tight ends, Daniel Fells and Jerome Cunningham, were ruled out with injuries. The Giants released DT Kenrick Ellis to make room for Tye on their roster.
Tye, who was an undrafted free agent originally signed to the team after a tryout at the rookie minicamp in May, told Newsday this summer that his goal was to be the first Stony Brook player to crack an NFL roster.
