<p><a href="https://preplacrosse.com/2025/10/class-of-2028-offensive-weapons-at-il-id-experience-part-i/">Ty Xanders kicked off this series with Part I</a>, highlighting the top offensive weapons from the IL ID Experience who immediately grabbed attention. But beyond those headliners, several other players quietly put together standout performances of their own. Here's a look at some of the under-the-radar offensive weapons that made a strong impression at the event.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Everything about [player_tooltip player_id='166488' first='Jacob' last='Beskin']'s game feels advanced for his age. He's got the size, skill, and decision-making of a player well beyond the 2028 level. When dodging, Beskin uses his frame and downhill power to get through contact, but what really stands out is his shot selection—he works for high-quality looks, consistently getting his stick to the middle without forcing shots.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">When slides come, he shows maturity in his reads. Rather than trying to bulldoze through traffic, he moves the ball efficiently, including an impressive pull pass through pressure that highlighted his IQ. And when he sets his feet, his efficient release and heavy shot make life miserable for goalies. With his combination of size, poise, and polish, Beskin is already trending toward being one of the more complete attackmen in the 2028 class.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">One of the most dangerous pure scorers at IDX was Sawyer Fasano, who consistently terrorized defenses with his step-down shooting from the lefty wing. His underhand release starts behind his body, making it nearly impossible for goalies to read, and he has the power and accuracy to finish from range. But Fasano's scoring ability extends far beyond his step-down shot.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">He's confident with his right hand, and inside the crease, he uses subtle head fakes and body deception to freeze goalies and finish high. When defenses adjust to his scoring, Fasano proves he's more than a finisher—he's an intelligent feeder who can skip passes through traffic and find open cutters. Add in his willingness to ride and hunt the ball back, and Fasano stands out as one of the most complete offensive threats in the 2028 class.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">One of the most advanced dodgers at IDX was Dom Frieri. His approach to dodging is unpredictable, keeping defenders guessing and off balance throughout the day. Frieri makes a living attacking up the hashes or sweeping across the field—and even when opponents anticipate it, he still finds a way to make it happen. His quick, compact on-the-run release makes him dangerous the moment he gains a step.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">When working from behind the cage, Frieri keeps his head up and consistently looks to set up teammates, showing strong vision and awareness. With his unpredictability, quickness, and scoring touch, Frieri already plays with the polish and poise of an upperclassman.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='166491' first='Kevin' last='Ryan'] proved to be one of the more advanced dodgers and scorers at IDX. While his height doesn't immediately stand out, his powerful base allows him to lean into defenders and create separation on his own terms. He combines that strength with quickness and intelligence—showing defenders one direction before slipping past in the opposite.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">As a shooter, Ryan is most dangerous when he sets up near the righty wing, where he can consistently find openings and punish goalies with his feet set. Inside, his quick release allows him to finish before help can arrive. His ability to create his own shot, finish in tight, and play with confidence makes him a tough cover and a player who consistently produces.</p>

<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["166062"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68faaf2b164ea"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Don't let [player_tooltip player_id='166062' first='Mac' last='Crawford']'s size fool you—his skill set is the real deal. At the Inside Lacrosse ID Experience, he showcased advanced body control, repeatedly stopping on a dime and leaving defenders chasing. Around the crease, Crawford excels at manipulating goalies with well-timed fakes and smooth finishes. From the outside, he's a dangerous on-the-run shooter who can pick corners with confidence and precision.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">What impressed most, though, was his vision and creativity under pressure. He consistently drew slides and delivered accurate feeds around defenders, changing release points to keep passing lanes open. Crawford's quickness, body control, and deceptive playmaking make him one of the more skilled and dynamic young scorers in the 2028 class.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">“Bull in a china shop” is the perfect way to describe [player_tooltip player_id='166499' first='Brody' last='Sambucci']. No matter how defenders choose to play him, he finds a way to absorb contact, power through checks, and get to his spot. He's a true downhill dodger who thrives off physicality, but there's also a surprising touch of elusiveness in his game that makes him more than just a bruiser.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">At IDX, Sambucci showed he's not all brawn — he made smart reads under pressure, threading skip passes and setting up teammates for easy finishes. With his combination of toughness, motor, and emerging playmaking feel, Sambucci looks like a midfielder built to impact the game at every level.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Brady Klatt immediately stood out at IDX for his size — and he backs it up with plenty of skill. The lefty is the kind of player who's hard to stop no matter what team you put him on. As a dodger, he's a bruiser; while not the fastest, he plays with a downhill, fullback-like mentality that allows him to plow through defenders and create contact on his terms.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Inside the paint is where Klatt shines. He has soft hands to catch and finish in traffic, and he's always in the right place for rebounds or second-chance opportunities. Tough, physical, and opportunistic, Klatt embodies the kind of gritty scoring presence that every offense needs.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Skilled with a touch of flair best describes Kole Kupper's performance at the Inside Lacrosse ID Experience. The 2028 attackman showcased the ability to score in a variety of ways, flashing creativity and confidence around the cage. From close range, he displayed highlight-worthy finishes—including a smooth behind-the-back and a twister that followed a sharp face dodge, proving his flash comes with substance.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">From the outside, Kupper's release is fluid and deceptive, keeping goalies guessing with his shot placement. Just as impressive was his playmaking—he consistently drew defenders and slipped passes through traffic to set up teammates for easy looks. Kupper still has plenty of physical development ahead, but his skill, creativity, and feel for the game make him a name worth remembering in the 2028 class.</p>
