For the second straight season, Sachem North alum Steve Mills has been named as the Lineman of the Year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).
Mills, a junior and three-time All-Liberty League selection, as well as a First Team All-Liberty player this year, centered an offensive unit that averaged 26.5 points and 375.9 yards, including 163.4 rushing, with only 16 sacks allowed, according to RPI.
Mills was a captain of the football team at Sachem, the Zellner Award winner as the top lineman in Suffolk County as a senior, and the Richard Van Norr Award winner as the top student-athlete at Sachem.
