Recent Commitments From Prospects In Penn. and NJ - Part II

Below is a review of five prospects from Pennsylvania or New Jersey who recently gave their verbal commitment to a college lacrosse program.    Antonelli recently committed to Navy which means the Midshipmen have landed one of the most talented as well as highly decorated face off specialists in New Jersey. This fast and powerful FOGO is a two-time 1st Team All-MAPL selection and owns the Blair program record for career face off wins. Additionally, last season Antonelli led New Jersey with 243 wins at the dot. Antonelli's success is due in large part to his ridiculously quick hands and polished footwork. His lightning-fast hands produce clean pick-n-pops at an insane rate. After Antonelli has secured possession, he can explode off the dot, elude charging wings and then race into the offensive end. Once he is below the retraining line Antonelli is a legitimate threat to fire the ball into the back of the net. On the rare occasion where the face off ends up on the turf, Antonelli owns the physicality to go into a crowd, scoop up the GB and emerge from the pack with the ball. On his charges to the net, Antonelli does a remarkable job of protecting his stick with his body.     In 2025 Barnett posted a breakout spring season during which he posted 20 goals and 16 assists. Included in Barnett's impressive sophomore campaign was his 4 goals and 1 assist effort in a win over Howell. So, it not come as surprise that last week, Barnett committed to MAAC powerhouse Sacred Heart. Barnett thrives when he gets downhill from up top and then snipes or distributes while on the run. His quick release and elite stick skills enable him to ping corners, score off-hip and fire bouncers into the net. Barnett's field vision and ability to absorb contact allow him to carry the ball deep down the alley before he delivers a dime to a teammate on the crease or the back post. Additionally, Barnet is a lethal shooter from the wing where he can unleash powerful overhands or sidearm rips from multiple angles. Plus, this athletic and fast midfielder has demonstrated that he can hustle back and play at SSDM for stretches.     Fobare is an athletic and well-built LSM with the speed and ground balls skills to dominate a game between the restraining lines. In short, this 2027 pole is a serious transition threat. His elite ability to snare a GB in traffic or the open field enables Fobare's team to control possession and play downhill. Once Fobare has the rock in his mesh, he will push the fast break for a goal or to distribute to an open teammate. His timely passing skills frequently produce easy looks in close for his attackmen. But Fobare will not force the transition action and has repeatedly proven that he is willing to roll into open space and deliver a clearing pass or push the ball back to his goalie. At the defensive end, Fobare's quick cut ability and active stick make him a menacing on-ball presence. Fobare recently committed to 2025 D3 NCAA tournament runner-up, Dickinson College.     As a sophomore, Will was a key piece for a Trinity squad that won 22 games, captured the Mid-Penn Conference championship as well as the District 3 title and advanced to the PIAA 2A state championship game. Now this athletic prospect who recently committed to Wagner College, returns for what should be a monster junior season. Will is a versatile midfielder with the skills and speed to make significant contributions as both a face off specialist and an O-Mid. As a FOGO, Will owns the technique and fast hands needed to win clamps cleanly. He can then explode out of the face off area and carry the ball deep into the offensive end before firing on net or passing to an open teammate. This 2027 prospect also owns a deep bag of tricks (rakes, jams, sweeps, etc.) that he can execute to produce a face off win. As a bonus to his face off skills, Will can stay on the field and contribute in 6v6 action. His quick burst enables Will to separate from the initial defender and then dash into open space for a crank. If the slide comes early, Will's field vision will locate the open teammate and his stick skills will deliver a timely pass for an easy goal.     For the 2026 season, La Salle has legitimate 3A state title aspirations. If the Explorers are going to achieve that lofty goal, they will need a big season from this multi-skilled offensive prospect who recently committed to Franklin & Marshall.Zweiback owns a creative offensive mind as well as elusive change of direction moves and finely tuned stick skills. That trifecta allows Zweiback to thrive as a shooter and a feeder in 6v6 action. Zweiback can create scoring opportunities by initiating from the wing and from behind the net. Opposing defenses must also respect Zweiback's catch and fire skills from GLE as well as the wing. Plus, Zweiback is master and executing timely off-ball cuts and sweeps that lead to high percentage scoring chances. The athletic and agile Zweiback has demonstrated that he can operate as a midfielder too.
