Zeke Uwland, the younger brother of SUNS AFL defender Bodhi, alongside 2022 VFL premiership winner Leo Lombard, Zai Millane, Caleb Nancarrow and Kalani White will represent the SUNS Academy in the squad.
Lombard was also named in the Allies squad as a bottom-age player in 2023, as Uwland and White are in 2024.
It’s the second consecutive season in which the Academy has produced at least five players in the squad, with the likes of AFL players Jake Rogers, Jed Walter, Ethan Read and Will Graham having been part of the 2023 squad.
The Allies are the reigning title-holders after going through last year's Championships undefeated to win the title for the first time.
The 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships – U18 Boys will be played from late May through to July and will feature the most talented under 18 boys footballers from across Australia.
The 31-player Allies squad features players from New South Wales/ACT, Northern Territory, Queensland and Tasmania.
Brisbane Lions Academy boys coach Mitch Hahn has been appointed head coach.
The Allies will commence their campaign on Sunday, May 26 when they take on South Australia at Thebarton Oval.
They will then play Western Australia at Blacktown International Sportspark on Sunday, June 2, before taking on Victoria Metro at IKON Park on Sunday, June 9 ahead of their final clash on Sunday, July 7 against Victoria Country at Brighton Homes Arena.
WATCH: All matches in the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships – U18 Boys will be live streamed on the AFL website.
