With the help of city-leagues coaches, the Daily News for the 27th year is publishing a list of seniors deserving of attention from Division I recruiters.
  Those players with expanded information following their name are considered I-A prospects.
  Those in the "others" category are more likely better fits for I-AA (*indicates Ivy League academic credentials).
  Many of these players perhaps would be better served by setting their sights at a level below where they're listed, but that's for recruiters and/or players to decide.
  The comments are based on personal observations and coaches' insights.

All players are listed by current position
