North County's Elite 11 players

Ian Seau
La Costa Canyon, outside linebacker
Class: Senior
Height, weight: 6-2, 255
All about Ian: Feedback on Seau was decidedly mixed with some coaches saying he lacks every-down intensity, while others said they game-planned to run away from him. A fierce pass rusher, Seau led the North County last year with 14 sacks. He also blocked a punt vs. Chula Vista, recovered a fumble vs. Santa Margarita, intercepted a pass vs. Fallbrook and averaged more than 24 yards on his four receptions.
From La Costa Canyon coach Sean Sovacool: "He is super-talented and just has so much raw ability. He can be as good as he wants to be. You shouldn't be able to move that way at 260 pounds."

Jeremiah Kose
Vista, linebacker
Class: Senior
Height, weight: 6-2, 215
All about Jeremiah: This season will be a little different without his brother Ofisa playing next to him. But Miah (MY-uh), as he is known to his teammates, was an active presence a year ago as the Panthers posted three shutouts and held four other teams to one touchdown. He was a first-team All-Palomar League selection.
From Vista coach Danny Williams: "He is a big kid who has a good knack for the ball."
