Former Hofstra QB heads to Wagner
After a year of not playing football, Joe Sidaras will put the pads back on at a new college. The former William Floyd and Hofstra quarterback will play tight end at Wagner. He was on the team at Hofstra when it was disbanded in December 2009 and his scholarship was honored, so he stuck around the Hempstead, N.Y. campus for the academic side of things. The 6-foot-4 stud accepted a full scholarship to Wagner. At Floyd, he was 22-0 his final two years with the Colonials and won two straight Long Island titles. He still has two full years of eligibility left.
