10 San Joaquin County players on the North Team were highlighted as key athletes to watch in the 2024 Lions All-Star Football Game. The group included some of the county's top seniors after a season that featured major offensive production, deep playoff runs, and even a Sac-Joaquin Section championship.

The player list included Asante Carter of St. Mary's, who rushed for nearly 1,000 yards and scored 25 total touchdowns; Tony Cowan of Linden, who scored on offense and posted 106 tackles; Elijah Chrim-Cordero of Lincoln, a two-way contributor with six receiving touchdowns and two forced fumbles; Barrett Crosby of Tokay, who averaged 85.3 rushing yards per game, scored 16 touchdowns, and added 61 tackles with four interceptions; and Darius Doyle of Kimball, who finished his varsity career with 1,665 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns.

The remaining featured players were Javonnie Haymon of Edison, who closed his career with 147 tackles; Samson Hunkin of St. Mary's, the Tri-City Athletic League MVP who threw for 2,732 yards and 25 touchdowns; Jamin Miller of Escalon, part of the team's Division 4 championship season with 864 rushing yards and eight touchdowns; Tommy Perea of Manteca, who averaged 8.6 tackles per game; and Aidan Van Os of Tracy, who led the Bulldogs in rushing and touchdowns while also playing quarterback. Together, those bios showed why the North brought so much San Joaquin County talent into the game against the South.
