Stock Rising: Unranked Class of 2025 Midfielders

Turley had an excellent junior season, dodging with physicality as well as anyone else in the class. The first three goals I saw from the Harvard commit this spring came when he initiated contact by putting his shoulder down against a shortstick to create separation before letting it fly, putting an opponent on the ground on one occasion against Georgetown Prep. He also notched a natural hat trick against archrival Haverford in the first quarter, showing off his two-handedness in the process. He does an awesome job of getting to his spots and has an explosive and powerful shooting stroke, both off the catch and off the dodge.

I absolutely love Lynch's game. Finishing the season with 34 goals and 11 assists, he checks all of the boxes in terms of the way he's able to score and is willing to do anything to get to the rack, often swimming defenders or pinballing past his man and selling out. The younger brother of Notre Dame All-American face-off man Will Lynch, he was particularly strong against St. Ignatius Prep (Calif.), impressing while registering five goals in the win. He finished the year having posted three or more goals seven different times.

After last year's summer circuit, I went back and forth on whether Mitchell was a high 3-star or 4-star before deciding to make him the latter. At this point, I feel good about how that decision went. Mitchell had an excellent spring and was among the top '25s in the MIAA if not the whole state. He posted three goals and two assists in a narrow loss to No. 1 Lawrenceville back in March, burying an overhand stepdown, a jumper from the hash, and a catch-and-shoot in the fourth quarter. Having played attack in the past, he frequently made things happen as an invert middie. He's awesome without the ball in his stick, and as a shooter, he shoots a heavy ball and mixes up his release points. St. Joe's got a steal, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Hawks have to fight off some poachers between now and November.

One of the quickest and most dynamic dodgers in the class, Reynolds has shown little trouble getting a step on his man. The Manlius (N.Y.) native put together a really impressive spring and formed a dangerous 1-2 punch with fellow SweetLax '25 Christopher Alexis (Maryland), which meant that one of them often got matched up with a shortstick, spelling trouble for the opposing defenses. His shifty and smooth dodging style is paired with an outstanding shot on the run, and Reynolds is plenty capable of letting it fly with either hand. Although Salisbury struggled this spring, the future Tiger was certainly a bright spot for the offense.

Helping the Big Red to a second straight finish in the No. 1 spot, the talented lefty Canadian broke through for a massive 31-goal, 18-assist junior season after seeing minimal minutes as a sophomore. A hard downhill dodger who is dangerous on sweeps, Rawson converted on over 35 percent of the shots he took and was constantly putting pressure on defenses against an absolutely loaded schedule. He doesn't need the ball in order to be successful, as Rawson is excellent without the ball, often sealing and picking to create open looks for his teammates.
