It is the year of the defensive lineman in Southwest Ohio. A bumper crop of big men highlight the Preseason 2017 All-TriStateFootball.com Team. All 12 selections at the defensive line position have Division I FCS offers or have committed to one. The positon will be strong again next year as all four Second-Team selections are juniors.

The linebackers have plenty to beat their chest about. The eight members of the First and Second Teams all have Division I FCS offers. Kam Butler is the only one who has committed and it was to Miami (OH).

The Greater Miami Conference and Greater Western Ohio Conference come strong. Each league placed nine players between the three teams. Colerain, Wayne and Lakota West each have three players on the squads.

Here is a look at the 2017 Preseason All-TSF Team defense:
