Pennsylvania 2028s Primed For A Breakout Spring

Below is a review of five talented Class of 2028 prospects from Pennsylvania who are poised to post their breakout stretch of play during the upcoming high school season.      For 2026, this sophomore is the projected starter in net for the defending 3A state champions and from what I have seen, Depetris is ready to meet that challenge. Depetris is an extremely athletic goalie prospect who has also operated as a SSDM and plays football too. That athleticism combined with his aggressive style leads to Depetris frequently popping off his line for clean saves. Depetris's fast hands and active stick enable him to cover the top corners. Meanwhile his rapid but controlled drops put a stop to any low shots. On the rare occasion where a rebound occurs, Depetris is quick to pounce on the loose ball. Once Depetris has the ball in his stick, he will deliver a swift and precise outlet pass that triggers a fast break opportunity. The fleet footed Depetris also will not hesitate to clear the ball himself.            Evans is a new face on the Pennsylvania recruiting scene as this past summer he transferred from Bishop Manogue in Nevada to Kiski. This athletic two-way should have an immediate impact for the Cougars. On offense, Evans uses his quick burst and agility to initiate from the wing, elude sliding defenders and then fire on the run. His heavy shot and ability to change angles create serious issues for opposing goalies. Evans is also a ball carrier who will patiently probe a defense until a high percentage opportunity presents itself for a teammate and then he will deliver a dime. This skilled midfielder has demonstrated that he can dodge going to his left or right and shoot / feed with both hands. Defensively, Evans plays a physical brand of SSDM. He excels at harassing ball carriers in transition and then creating a turnover. In 6v6 action Evans gets into ball carriers early in their dodge and is a master at executing timely crow bars.       As a freshman, Lanzetta was a solid rotational midfielder for SCHA. But after the outstanding play we saw in summer 2025 from this athletic prospect with noteworthy size and polished stick skills, we expect that Lanzetta will make the jump to major contributor this spring. With his speed, change of direction moves and ability to absorb contact, Lanzetta excels in transition. Once he gets below the restraining line, Lanzetta is a threat to find the back of the net or draw the point man and then distribute o the open teammate. In settled action, Lanzetta can easily separate from his initial defender and then get downhill for a crank on the move. From the wing, Lanzetta will execute a solid hitch move and then dip underneath his defender for a dash to the cage. Lanzetta can unleash powerful step downs as well as side arm rips from anywhere on the field. College coaches will love Lanzetta's versatility as in addition to O-Mid, he has flashed that ability to operate at X-attack and SSDM.       Johnson is an elite offensive prospect with extensive experience playing in the Six Nations box league. Thus, defenders across the state of Pennsylvania should mark him closely from the moment he steps on the field. Johnson runs like a gazelle and owns serious shake, so he thrives on the fast break. Those same assets enable Johnson to blow past defenders in 6v6 action too. Despite his wiry frame, Johnson has shown that he can run through stick checks and body contact on his way to the cage. When he gets in close, Johnson's deep bag of finishing moves make him impossible for opposing goalies to stop. Johnson owns elite shooting skills, but his incredible field vision makes him a threat to feed open teammates while on the run too. Johnson's creative offensive instincts keep him one step ahead of opposing defenses. The upside on this highly skilled 2028 prospect is ridiculous.         Johnson is an athletic (also plays hockey), fast and a high IQ LSM / close defender. When you combine those assets with his active stick and refined footwork, you get one of the most intriguing 2028 defensive prospects in the state. Johnson can impact every aspect of a game. His speed and ground ball skills make Johnson a force between the restraining lines as well as on the face off wing. In settled action, Johnson can harass midfielders or attackmen for long stretches and then causes a turnover with a well-timed lift or poke. He can also generate turnovers with his physical slides or by disrupting passing lanes with his stick. Once Johnson has secured possession, he can get out in transition quickly. As he pushes into the offensive end, Johnson is a serious threat to rip the ball into the back of the net. Johnson is vocal leader who keeps his defensive teammates connected with his constant communication.
