TCPalm's Preseason Football All-Area watch lists for offense and defense

High school football season has arrived on the Treasure Coast and over the next few months, top players will rise up for their teams.

Turnover among the stars that shined in 2022 took place with college-bound players moving on, leaving plenty of room for new faces to step into the spotlight across the area.

From last year's All-Area teams, 10 seniors graduated on offense and 10 more on defense from the first teams. A number of standouts are back from those lists that will be expected to lead the charge for their teams.

Division I commits and prospects are all over the Treasure Coast, making the competition at every position fierce and exciting to ponder as games get going.

TCPalm's Bryan Cooney produces his preseason All-Area watch lists for both sides of the ball with familiar names and those you may not know making appearances.
