Paz displayed an impressive ability to both close out on ball-carriers and cover in space, as the linebacker led Locust Valley in both solo tackles and interceptions last season.
RASHAD TEACHEY, Malverne
At 5-10, 165 pounds, Teachey is one of the more versatile athletes in the conference, as he can be featured at three different positions, quarterback, running back and defensive back.
NICKY BRANDI, Seaford
Brandi is a game-changer on both the offensive and defensive line for the Vikings. His presence on the offensive line will be crucial toward the success of quarterback Logan Masters.

Masters will look to lead Seaford to its second consecutive Nassau IV final in 2019. The Vikings fell to Cold Spring Harbor last season, 27-7. He will be featured as one of the centerpieces of Seaford’s power offense.
JEREMIAH FORTI, West Hempstead
Forti rushed for 700 yards and seven touchdowns and recorded 50 tackles at linebacker in 2018. The Rams rely heavily on his leadership, as the senior will be their only returning starter this season.
