Ryan Rothenberger
Endorsements
Bryan Churchey
As someone who has coached Ryan since he was in 5th grade I can attest that he has an incredible work ethic and desire to become a better version of himself on a consistent basis. Ryan possesses the size, IQ, and athleticism you would want in a close defense-man taking good inside out approaches to his man. Ryan is poised under pressure in the clearing game with good field vision and is a strong communicator within the defense . He is more than capable of playing and competing at a high level as he has shown thus far against some exceptional competition in AA brackets. I highly recommend Ryan as a player and as a person to play in any program he will build your culture and be an asset to your team.
Matt Justice
Ryan has a tremendous amount of potential within his developing playing ability. He possesses all of the unteachable aspects and continues to grow his lax IQ every time I see him. Ryan can be a lockdown 1 on 1 defenseman, but can also QB a defense with his communication off ball. His stick is dependable off the ground and in the clears as well. Ryan truly has the ability to be a great pole at the college level.
Gary Mercadante
Ryan is a dynamic pole who has the athletic ability to be an impact player both at LSM and Close. Strong, rangy, and physical defender who also brings a strong IQ to the team defense. Impressive cover ability and stick skills allow him to be strong off the ground and between the lines. Ryan will be a great addition and strong contributor to any team at the next level.
