About Derek
Expert Analysis
Ty Xanders | Prep Lacrosse Scout
On a SHP roster that was full to the brim with ’25 and ’26 talent this season, playing time was hard to come by for underclassmen on the offensive end, so we didn’t see much of Sabel, whose brother, Nolan, starred for the Pirates. That being said, if Derek’s time at NHSLS served as any indication, he’s bound to seize a sizable role as a junior. The 5’9, 165-pound lefty has fantastic burst and shiftiness, constantly making things happen when he put his foot in the ground and got his hands free. He was productive when sweeping or rolling back to his right, but also demonstrated the ability to get quality shots on cage when darting through traffic. Between his athleticism, IQ, and big-time shot, there’s a lot to like about Sabel’s skill set.
