This is a favorable mold that fits most good football players, especially those that play around the line of scrimmage. There are several qualities I look for in the student-athletes that make the All-Trench Team. One recurring characteristic involved is players that just simply “have that dawg in them”. With that being said, these guys are all 2023 prospects, so these student athletes are almost done with their high school playing careers. Most of these guys have already gained notoriety of some sort for their talents on the field. There are a few who will likely begin receiving attention in the weeks and months to come. Either way, each scenario is suitably the case for each of the honorees of the 2023 Defensive All-Trench Team. The athletes listed below are going to be a force in the trenches this Fall and for years to come depending on the path they choose. There is no doubt that all of the prospects mentioned will all be offered an opportunity to play on the collegiate level. Without further delay, here is Prep Redzone’s Defensive All-Trench Team for the 2023 class.
