PRZPA’s 1st & 2nd All-PPL Teams: Defense

The 2021 Spring season is officially in the books! Many prospects from across the Philadelphia Public League have upped their stock, added themselves to our watchlist, or have become ranked on our site due to their stellar play this season. Our updated rankings will be dropping shortly, with plenty of newcomers debuting. Today, we will release our 1st and 2nd All-PPL teams. Our All-UX teams will drop at a later date. The defensive teams will consist of four defensive linemen that are not locked into your traditional tackle/end fit, four linebackers, and five defensive backs. Our teams are loaded with versatile players, our position versatile format reflects that. Without further ado, here are PRZPA’s All-PPL 1st and 2nd team defenses! * Both Neumann-Goretti and West Catholic are part of the PCL but all players will be included in this as both teams played in the 2021 Spring Season primarily against PPL squads.
