VOTE: 2024 Preseason All-TSF Team
- Updated: August 5, 2024
We are two weeks away from the start of the 2024 high school football season across the Tri-state area and this year and now it’s time to recognize the cream of the crop and present our nominees for the 2024 Preseason All-TSF Team.
The TSF staff has already named the official 2024 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 6PM ET on Monday, August 19 on our website. Visitors can vote once per hour, per IP address for each position. The final team will be announced on Wednesday, August 21.
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 411 nominations for 116 schools. This list of players was determined from the following criteria: Players who were 2023 all-state, all-district, most first team all-league, players (in the Class of 2025 & 2026) with BCS college offers or commitments and wild cards (players our staff liked and felt were worthy of being on the list).
