Stock Up: Uncommitted 2027 Talent in Maryland Part II

<a href="https://preplacrosse.com/2026/01/stock-up-uncommitted-2027-talent-in-maryland-part-i/">After spotlighting five uncommitted prospects last week</a>, it's time for Part II of the Maryland Uncommitted Series. Maryland keeps producing, and this next group has real upside for the next level—guys college coaches should absolutely have on their evaluation list. Here are five more uncommitted Maryland juniors to know.    At 6'4", athletic, and smart, Abromaitis has the traits that make him one of—if not the—top uncommitted SSDMs in Maryland's 2027 class. His physicality stands out. He can bump and run with bigger midfielders, but he also has the speed and feet to stay in front of quicker, shiftier dodgers. At NHSLS, one of his most impressive translatable skills was how well he handled the two-man game. He doesn't give space into picks, stays connected through traffic, and isn't shy about delivering a hard chip as dodgers come over the top to disrupt timing and force uncomfortable decisions.   And if his defensive value wasn't enough, his ability to turn stops into offense pushes him over the top. Give him the ball on the clear, and it's a problem for the ride—he's fast, finds open turf effortlessly, and plays through contact. Once he crosses midfield, he's a legitimate threat with an on-the-run lefty shot that demands respect and prevents teams from locking off. Abromaitis is already hearing from Division I programs, so don't be surprised if he's off the board sooner rather than later.     Early in the fall at the Terp Classic, [player_tooltip player_id='173680' first='Bo' last='Hoffman'] was a clear standout for ProStart, showing versatility by producing both as an attackman and out of the box. The lefty can generate great looks on both sides of the goal, but l<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DQk5ag9ja87/">etting him cook from his natural side is where he's especially dangerous.</a> As a midfield dodger, he's comfortable going down the alley and is more than capable of finishing on the run with either hand. When he carries from GLE, he puts defenses into scramble mode—he attacks the middle, forces slides, and his hitch only amplifies the stress he puts on a defense.   Hoffman's biggest separator is his natural lefty release and deception. He gets the ball out cleanly with minimal tells, which keeps goalies guessing both on the run and in tight. Add in head fakes and crafty inside finishes, and you're looking at a scorer with the makeup to become a high-end goal producer as he continues to develop.     “Slick and quick” were the first two words I wrote down on Crowley over the summer, and his fall run only made that evaluation stronger. Playing with DC Express, he consistently carved defenses up from behind the cage and showed the kind of poise you want from a lefty who can both initiate and finish. He was at his best getting to his lefty side and finishing up the hashes—comfortable in tight windows, from low angles, and effective with an inside roll. A lot of poles will try to force him right, but he's more than capable of punishing that approach. He can feed with his off hand and still make plays as a scorer up the hashes when he needs to.   Adding a pick only makes him tougher to deal with. When defenders weren't sure which way he was going, or whether he was going to use the pick at all, Crowley created separation and got his hands free with ease. And when he wasn't the primary initiator, he stayed productive by sneaking the pipes and finding soft spots for quick one-timers. From what I saw at NHSLS, Crowley will be in the mix for that left-handed spot with sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='168671' first='Ryan' last='Antesberger']. Even if he isn't the starter down low, his skill set should translate to production as an invert option—effective as both a picker and a dodger.     If you're game-planning for Krietz, the shooting from range isn't what keeps you up at night—but you'd better have a slide ready when he initiates from behind. Once he gets up the hashes, he's tough to key on. He's got a deep bag from the island—he can get topside with an on the run shot, shake his defender with a shifty inside roll, and he has the vision to see through traffic and get it there with creativity. Away from the ball, he's neaky and finds gaps around the crease, making himself available for quick-sticks and point-blank finishes.   Krietz's upside really pops in transition. At the ALL Fall Invitational, he made a ton of “zero-second” decisions—scanning early before the ball even hits his stick, catching and moving it in one motion, squeezing passes through tight windows, and ripping it quickly enough that goalies don't have time to react.     [player_tooltip player_id='173738' first='Max' last='Randazzo'] is a MoCo junior I'll be watching closely this spring. He piled up 41 goals and 17 assists at BCC and scored in every game. This summer, his athleticism and nonstop motor showed up on both ends of the field, hinting at real two-way upside.   Randazzo's calling card is his dodging. When he catches on the righty wing, defenses have to be prepared to slide—he's dangerous topside with speed and physicality, but he can also split and get to his left in a blink. He's especially good at “earning” a better look with re-dodges and subtle hitches, which makes him tough to slide to. Add in his ability to bounce or skip passes through tight windows, and he becomes more than just a scorer—he's an initiator who can make the defense pay for overcommitting. He's also a grinder in the gritty areas of the game: scoops tough ground balls, competes defensively, and can turn a dead-to-rights clear into an escape by carrying through pressure and finding space.
