VOTE: 2023 Preseason All-TSF Team
- Updated: August 10, 2023
We are two weeks away from the start of the 2023 high school football season across the Tri-state area and now it’s time to recognize the cream of the crop and present our nominees for the 2023 Preseason All-TSF Team presented by AnyWeather.
We would like to send a big thanks to our friends at AnyWeather, who continue to support our coverage of local high school football. Please consider them for your roofing, HVAC, or Restoration service needs by checking them out at AnyWeather.com! Tell them TriStateFootball sent you and get a special discount.
The TSF staff has already named the official 2023 Preseason All-TSF First Team members (bolded below), but we are seeking help from local high school football fans, players, and coaches to help us figure out the rest of the team. Voting will run from now until 12PM ET on Tuesday, August 15 on our website. Visitors can vote once per hour, per IP address for each position. The final team will be announced on Wednesday, August 16.
The team is decided upon a combination of a fan vote (30%) and our staff votes (70%). We use a Borda Count method, which really makes every vote count.
In total we have 407 nominations for 123 schools. This list of players was determined from the following criteria: Players who were 2022 all-state, all-district, most first team all-league, players (in the Class of 2024 & 2025) with BCS college offers or commitments and wild cards (players our staff liked and felt were worthy of being on the list).
