Vote: Who should be High School on SI’s New York Football Player of the Week? (9/18/2024)

New York high school football is back and so begins our Player of the Week polls for the state. Teams showcased more of what they’ve got heading into Week 4 of the regular season.

As such, we have eight athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s New York Football Player of the Week award from September 12-14, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.

SBLive voting polls are intended to be a fun way to create fan engagement and express support for your favorite high school athletes and teams. Unless expressly noted, there are no awards for winning the voting. Our primary focus is to highlight the abilities and accomplishments of all the athletes and teams included in our poll. You can vote as often as you wish and are encouraged to share our polls with others. The use of voting bots and other forms of automated voting are not allowed. Individuals will be removed from the poll if any form of automated voting can be verified. – SBLive Sports

Voting closes at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Sep. 22nd. The winner will be announced in the following week’s poll. Here are this week’s nominees:

The 5-foot-8, 170-pound middle linebacker led the way in North Rockland’s 31-6 win over Arlington with a team-high 14 tackles and added a pass deflection.

Costine had a strong game on the ground in a 56-12 victory over Watervliet/Heatly, as the senior running back rushed for 145 yards on 15 carries and scored three touchdowns.
