    With the help of city-leagues football coaches, the Daily News for the 23rd year has compiled a list of senior players deserving of attention from Division I recruiters.
    Those players with expanded information following their name are considered I-A prospects. Those in the “others” category are more likely better fits for I-AA (*indicates Ivy League-caliber academic credentials; some may reach that stus later).
    Many of these players perhaps would be better served by setting their sights a notch below where they’re listed, but that’s for recruiters to decide.
    The comments are based on personal observation and coaches’ insights.
