The nominees for the Super Football Conference Steve DeGregorio Young Man of the Year Award were announced last month. The award is named for former Nutley coach Steve DeGregorio, who died in 2021. One player from each high school in the New Jersey SFC is selected by the coaches, athletic director, and staff for the award. Steve Degregorio, the person whom the award is named after, was a “beloved coach and leader” who led Nutley High School to an undefeated season while battling pancreatic cancer. He passed away in 2021, but the award keeps his incredible spirit and leadership alive. A stellar student-athlete at Nutley High School and Muhlenberg College, Degregorio went on to be an assistant coach at Hobart College, Allegheny College, Princeton University, and later, head coach at Paramus Catholic and Nutley High. He has inspired student-athletes and as stated by the SFC, he “won with humility, and he lost with dignity. And he considered the opportunity to strive for those victories week after week each autumn a blessing.”

The 2025 Morris Hills nominee is Devin Ginder. Every player nominated is recognized with a plaque before their final regular season game. The winner of the award will be announced in January.
