This year’s freshman class features some of the most touted athletes on Long Island. Many have already celebrated fantastic seasons with their varsity teams and aim to have as many great moments for years to come. Following the cancellation of the 2020 season, this group is working harder than ever to make a statement in 2021. They will surely be firing on all cylinders come next season. The LILJ has recently comprised a watch list of the top guys from the Class of 2023. See the list below!

Nice list. How are the players nominated ? I am only asking because I know a handful of 2023 players that made the top 25 all Suffolk freshman team and they are not on the list.
The Process for All Our Watch Lists are as follows:
1.) Varsity Coach from Players’ High School Nominates Him or Her.
2.) Club Director from Players’ Club Nominates Him or Her.
3.) LILJ Staff member adds players’ name after watching them compete.
Thanks,
LILJ
