Before the season

Losses

RB Miguel Maysonet, QB Kyle Essington, WR Kevin Norrell, OL Michael Bamiro, DB Dominick Reyes and Cedrick Moore were among the major losses for the team. Bamiro being an unusual case in which he exhausted his collegiate eligibility but missed the NFL draft while being draft eligible. Maysonet, Norrell, Bamiro, and Moore were among those that signed free agent contracts with NFL teams. Maysonet played a crucial role in Stony Brook's running game being a finalist for the Walter Payton Award.

Broadcasting

The 2013 season brought Stony Brook football to the ESPN Radio Network for the first time ever. ESPN Radio Network will broadcast all Seawolves football games in Long Island as it looks to expand its footprint in the region. Champions Radio Network (ESPN Network in Long Island) broadcast all Seawolves football games across the Island in two frequencies. Stony Brook will have one game displayed on ESPN3 and two games under the NBC network with the possibility of a third one being added on Rivalry week. Additional games streamed online in the Patriot League Sports Network (vs. Colgate) and Stony Brooks own streaming service.

Schedule

Stony Brook joins the Colonial Athletic Association and will be facing eight conference opponents. The Seawolves will play a 12-game schedule, taking advantage of an NCAA rule that allows FBS teams to schedule 12 games in years when the period starting with the Thursday before Labor Day and ending with the final Saturday in November contains 14 Saturdays. Originally, Stony Brook scheduled Boston College for the first week of the season, however, due to a schedule conflict with the ACC, Boston College was forced to drop Stony Brook and picked up Villanova. As a result, Stony Brook scheduled Penn in an organized scrimmage with eleven regular season games.
