‘Seawolf for life.’ Teen with spina bifida joins Stony Brook University football team through special programThe Stony Brook University football team is made up of big guys who look like they were built perfectly to play the game. This is why 13-year-old Milo Nicholson from East Setauket stands out on their sideline. But that's OK with him.Nicholson admits sports were never exactly his thing. He said he's more of a book reader and video game player.
But the Seawolves had bigger plans for the teen. He was invited to practices, team meetings, film sessions and flew on the team charter to their first game in West Virginia. "He goes through hell every day. So what if you're different? We're all different. God made us in his image. There's a reason why he diagnosed me with cancer and with spina bifida. The thing I always say is ‘Don't let it define you, let it drive you,’" Pecorella told News12's Kevin Maher.
