Three Tupper Lake players were named to the first team, with senior Owen Whitman leading as the lone defensive player.

Whitman, who has been with the program since 2019, was named a first-team NAC choice as a defensive tackle. The senior led the team with five sacks while recording 44 tackles. He also had two fumble recoveries.

On the other side of the line, Tyler Wood was honored as a first-team All-Northern offensive guard.

Jayden Farnsworth was the Lumberjacks’ lone pick on the NAC’s second team. Farnsworth, a four-year starter, was honored as a quarterback. In his senior season with Tupper Lake, he threw for 699 yards, while scoring 12 touchdowns through the air. He also only threw three interceptions in seven games.

Senior captain Jamin Whitmore won the Section X Outstanding Sportsmanship Award. Whitmore played in all eight games this past season and made an impact in each one. The senior led the team in total touchdowns with seven — four of which came in his final varsity football game with the Lumberjacks. Whitmore also recorded 400 all-purpose yards on the season.
