Recruit Profile

Team first player that is coachable & acountable; able to lock people down, has a strong game IQ. An explosive LSM, very rangy and athletic player.

Watching my older brother play lacrosse as a young kid gave me a love for the game and pushed me to become the best competitor that I can be.

As a young player I started out as an attack. I think that playing in that position gave me insight on becoming a highly effective LSM.

I believe that being able to communicate in a positive way with my teammates helps me to be a leader on and off the field with my teammates.

While winning is a high priority for me, I never let it get in the way of being the best teammate that I can. I believe that being part of the team and helping my teammates play their best is ultimately my favorite part of the game and leads to teams that win!

A fundamental part of winning games is possessing the ball. To gain possession of the ball, you need to get ground balls. I happen to lead my high school varsity team in ground balls. I was also awarded Rookie of the Year last spring season.

I am on the student leadership team of my high school as well as leading in the youth group at my church.

Over the years I have had many coaches. This has given me the ability to adjust quickly and learn to take instruction from many different people. I feel like being coachable and having a growth mindset makes a player lethal on the field. I want to be that type of player. Because having the ability to accept constructive criticism and then make changes helps me become the best player that I can be.
