EASTON, Mass. – The 2025-2026 Senior Reflections is a series of annual collections . Senior representatives of teams at Stonehill have been invited to contribute and reflect on their personal experiences over their four-year careers at Stonehill - both on and off the playing surface. 

BRIGHAM DUNPHY, FOOTBALL

Why Stonehill?
I chose Stonehill because of football. The chance to play the sport I love at a high level while also getting a great education was exactly what I was looking for, and I knew Stonehill would give me that opportunity. What I didn't know at the time was just how much this place, and the people here, would shape me into the person I am today.
 
Building Relationships
When I first stepped on campus, I'll admit I was and unsure of myself. Over these four years, through the challenges of balancing academics and football, and with the constant support of teammates, coaches, and friends, I've grown into someone I'm proud of. The relationships I've built here have been just as important as anything that's happened on the field. They've pushed me, challenged me, and helped me become the man I am today.
 
Best Memories
Some of my best memories as a Skyhawk will always be the time spent with my teammates, whether it was in the locker room, at the dining hall, or out on the practice field. Scoring the game-winning touchdown against Maine is a moment I'll never forget, but honestly, it's the everyday moments with the guys that I'll carry with me the most.
 
Lessons Learned
Through football and Stonehill, I've learned how hard of a worker I really am and how much that hard work can pay off when you stay committed. I've developed skills like teamwork, leadership, and perseverance—qualities that I know will help me well beyond my days here.
 
As I look ahead, I'm grateful for everything Stonehill has given me: the memories, the friendships, the lessons, and the growth. I came here as a kid trying to figure things out, and I'm leaving as someone ready to take on the next chapter.
