Brendan Donahue
Recruit Profile
Coachable, hard worker, on-field communicator, good student, aggressive, multi-sport athlete, team player, respectful, competitive, strong, a willing servant.
I started playing lacrosse at age 9. My first coach had me play long pole and I loved it. I'm confident using dominant and nondominant hands. My strengths are working through picks, communication and sliding to help. Defense has always been my favorite part of any sport. I've played 9 years of basketball and now play Varsity volleyball. I am the oldest of 5 kids and I love being an older brother. AP Chemistry and AP History, Honors Calculus and Honors Literature are my challenges this year. I've been able to keep above a 4.0 for the last two years. I just completed 40 hours of service at the Franciscan Center in Baltimore.
Moving on to my senior year, it is my priority to keep a heavy class load, stay active in the Xavarian Brother Club, continue to improve in Lacrosse and Volleyball and appreciate the privilege it is to be a student at Mount St. Joseph.

I have had the opportunity to coach Brendan from clinics he attended as a 7th grader and the last 3 years as a member of our HoCo 2022 team. Brendan brings a focus and drive to the field that mirrors his approach and success in the classroom. He actively seeks feedback and then immediately applies the coaching to his next opportunity. He is equally adept at pushing transition as he is in approaching and containing attackers during unsettled situations negating their opportunity. Brendan provides a steady presence on our defense aided by his communication, 1 on 1 skills and support of teammates and is an asset to our team.

Brendan is a very talented defender with a great Lacrosse I.Q. He is extremely coachable and uses his size and speed to his advantage while playing defense. He plays excellent team defense. He creates many matchup challenges for opponents because he rarely gets beat one-on-one in his matchup.
