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.

Derek Sabel, a 5’9 lefty midfielder from Seton Hall Prep, is an explosive offensive weapon with elite quickness and change of direction ability. He routinely blows past D-Middies and LSMs with ease, creating separation and generating high-quality looks. Sabel has a lethal shot on the run and can stretch defenses with his shooting range. Beyond his scoring ability, he’s also a poised facilitator, consistently drawing slides and finding open teammates. His combination of speed, shooting, and unselfish play makes him a dynamic two-way threat from the midfield.
