Continue ReadingOver the past few seasons, the Bluegrass State has seen a plethora of 2025s emerge and breakthrough as serious playmakers for their respective teams. Here is a look at six of those juniors to watch this spring.
Arguably the best player to ever come out of Anderson County, the 5’9 junior attackman has proven to be a natural goal scorer, scoring 64 goals and adding seven assists to finish with 71 points. He has good field awareness and a feel for the game, knowing how to get to the rack from nearly anywhere on the field. Jett’s best trait might be his ability as a one-on-one dodger. While he might not always be the fastest, he regularly beats his man, gets his hands free, and gives himself a good look on cage.
Highlights
Bryant is one of the craftiest playmakers in the Bluegrass. At 5’11 and 170 pounds, he isn’t always the most physically imposing midfielder and might not be the quickest. Bryant, however, has a skillset that allows him to find and get to space and the rack from nearly anywhere on the field. As a ball carrier, he can bully his way past a defender or beat him off the dodge. Off-ball, Bryant knows how to break into the heart of the defense for a good look. And he can convert tough looks inside from time to time. The Fairfield commit is perhaps best when operating from up top where he can make a play as either a dodger, shooter, or feeder.
Highlights
A dual-sport athlete who also plays quarterback in football, Andriole has some God-given physical traits on his side at 6’3″ and 190 pounds. Andriole knows exactly how to use those traits to his advantage. Often a matchup nightmare for short-sticks, the junior is very comfortable getting downhill and beating his man one-on-one to get to space. Often drawing slides, Andriole has developed into a solid feeder who can find the next man. Along with his traditional downhill dodging, the most impressive thing about Andriole’s game his is range as he can strike from a good distance on a regular basis.
Highlights
Committed to Jacksonville, Alexander is arguably the best ’25 in the state. The 6’2″ pole has proven to be an extremely versatile playmaker who impacts the game in a multitude of facets. Seemingly always active, Alexander is strong on-ball as a defender and can put the ball on the ground at will, routinely causing havoc for the opposition. He is also superb off-ball, making timely slides and always finding ways to be disruptive. Some of his best assets are being great off the ground along with the ability to make plays in transition.
Highlights
Blair might be the most interesting player in the state. A dual-sport athlete who also excels as a running back and defensive back on the football field, Blair picked up lacrosse last year as a sophomore after previously playing baseball in the spring. He brings a lot of speed, physicality, and field awareness over to the lacrosse field. He is a ballhawk as a defensive midfielder and can cause havoc both on and off-ball.
Highlights
One of the best hidden gems in the Bluegrass, Hoffman showcases a wiry and energetic style of play in between the pipes. Committed to play for the hometown Bellarmine Knights, the 5’7″ keeper is seemingly always in position to make the stop. He is a very well-rounded goalie, as he has shown the ability to stop a wide range of shots. However, he his arguably the hardest to beat low as he knows how to drop his stick on a dime to make those stops.
