2022 | NY: Victor
 
Recruit Profile
Goal oriented, self-motivated, multi-sport student athlete. I thrive in high level competition- stay controlled under pressure. High lax IQ,gritty, loyal, passionate and energetic teammate. Leader,-effective communicator. I'm a difference-maker.

I started playing lacrosse when I was 6 years old and never stopped! I'm a physical, gritty, and aggressive defender. I've been a varsity starter at Victor High School since my freshman year, leading the team in take-aways and consistently shutting down other teams top offensive players. I also play defense on the #1 nationally ranked Monster Elite Purple team competing at a high level and winning key tournaments like Lax for the Cure, Live Love Lax, The MidAtlantic and The President's Cup. My dad was an All American lacrosse defender and National Champion, so my two older brothers and I have been lucky enough to grow up playing, learning and loving the game! My oldest brother Anthony plays D1 at Canisius College and my other brother Joey plays D1 at the University of Albany.

My high lacrosse IQ and strong communication skills on the field separate me from others and make me a difference maker in high-pressure situations. I play strong off ball D and can see the whole field. I'm also a libero for our high school volleyball team where I was brought up to varsity as a freshman where we ended our season as the runner up to states. I was also named team captain at the JV level before being brought up as a freshman.

My strong work ethic helps me balance working two jobs while still maintaining a strong focus on academics and sports. I'm a Respite Care Mentor for youths with special needs, member of the Key Club and also volunteer for organizations such as Camp Good Days and Special Times, as well as the Salvation Army. I pride myself on being a leader, a great teammate and an effective communicator. I thrive under pressure and love when my coaches and teammates rely on me to keep the energy high and positive on the field.

My goal is to play lacrosse at a university that has an electric culture where my teammates all value each other and push each other to be successful.
