Recruit Profile
I'm an extremely disciplined 3 sport athlete (Lacrosse, Wrestling, Soccer) with speed, agility and commitment.

I started playing lacrosse in 4th grade after finding it much more exciting than my baseball days. I've pretty much played every sport beginning with gymnastics at 4 which gave me true core strength and balance. I've wrestled since 1st grade placing in the top 3 at State Championships for 3 consecutive years and top 8 every other year. I earned a varsity spot as a freshman for wrestling and starting varsity spot for soccer as a sophomore. Unfortunately, I didn't have a lacrosse season as a freshman due to COVID, however started varsity as a sophomore. I have played on my lacrosse club team Shoreline Sharks since 6th grade. I am very aggressive on the field outplaying my opponent with take-aways and speed. I never shy away from a one on one and like to feed my teammates as a play develops. Typically, I'm involved in multiple sports at any given time. I've always earned awards in my sports as most coachable, team leader and MVP. Most recently I've taken to the weights to add to my speed and strength. I work hard and keep myself in the best physical shape with a healthy diet and lifestyle. In school I really enjoy Business Exploration and Accounting. In my free time I surf in the summer and ski in the winter. Id like to pursue lacrosse in college as its been my passion. I love the physicality aspect of this sport and the thrill of speed on the field.

Tommy has a motor like few other players I've had the opportunity to coach. He is highly capable as both an offensive and a defensive midfielder, spending time on both EMO and MD squads. Offensively, his hitch step and ability to utilize space make him a threat with his feet, and his fine-tuned shot selection compromises even the best goalies. Defensively, Tommy plays near-perfect SSD, using his feet and his head before his stick, he is capable of containing skilled players with ease. He is additionally well-versed in taking faceoffs, a valuable additional skill for a midfielder.

Tommy is the definition of a true two-way middie - he is an offensive threat who can hustle back to make big stops during transitions and on settled defense. His advantages on offense include his explosiveness and speed to take players one on one as well as his ability to read timing of slides for smart shot selection or on-point assist opportunities. Tommy also has a strong skillset with faceoffs when needed.
