Big Ten Bound '26s: Mid-Atlantic Movers

As a follow-up to <a href="https://preplacrosse.com/national/player-rankings/2026-mid-atlantic-region-rankings/">last week's Mid-Atlantic Top 75 release</a> in the Class of 2026, here's a look at a handful of Big 10 signees in the region who have moved up in the rankings:    Heading into his recruitment, the knock on Boyd that I kept hearing was his lack of athleticism. Two years later, that assessment feels almost impossible to fathom. His game has evolved dramatically—he's playing with confidence, aggressively attacking longpoles with purpose, creating offense, and scoring in bunches. When Boyd puts his foot in the ground, watch out. Possessing exceptional body control, he uses his frame to lean into defenders and create space, or rolls back to his strong hand, though he's more than capable with his right. This season at Chatham, he's shown his versatility, lining up at attack, offensive midfield, and even d-mid, where his relentless compete level shines. He's already nearing last year's goal total (38), tallying 31 goals and 13 assists through just 10 games.     Each time I see Morris, I'm more impressed by him than I was the time before, which speaks volumes about his commitment to getting better and has me feeling bullish about his upcoming career at Hopkins. He moves like he's gliding and is wildly dynamic as a goal-scorer: Morris can take his man from the corners, bang stepdowns from 12 yards or more, sweep across the top with either hand, and score under duress with bodies draped all over him. Regardless of how he's getting it done, Morris wins his matchups more often than not. One of the biggest differences between Morris now and two years ago has been his shot selection. He was a volume shooter by trade, and while he's still generating high-percentage looks on a regular basis, he's much more disciplined with his takes.     Part of a dynamic three-headed offensive unit for EA, Nash's game has matured significantly since he burst onto the scene as a sophomore, particularly in terms of consistency. A smooth operator out of the midfield, he excels at taking what the defense gives him. Nash has an excellent first step and frequently uses hitches and hesitations to free his hands. When defenses slide early, he's adept at finding the open man, often delivering skip passes right to the doorstep. Given his development and consistency, he projects as a player who can step in and make an immediate impact at Rutgers.     After moving from midfield to attack last year due to injury, Rossettie broke through as a junior for the Big Red, leading Lawrenceville with 47 goals while shooting 40 percent. An explosive initiator, he's an exceptionally talented wing shooter who has worked hard to extend his range. He's slippery with the ball in his stick and can both win his matchup and beat the slide to the goal. He's also shown dynamic playmaking ability, creating opportunities for others out of his dodges. While his game fits JHU's style well, it may take a year for Rossettie to fully find his footing as he continues to develop consistency and improve his processing speed.     From a size, physicality, and athleticism standpoint, Wodazak is tailor-made for the Big 10. Watching him over the summer and in some of the Hermits' biggest games this spring, it's easy to envision him being a part of the Nittany Lions' midfield rotation in the future. Wodazak is a bear to handle when he gets a full head of steam, but even when the opponents' game plans are built around stopping him, Wodazak can get open and fire shots off the catch. He's got incredibly powerful wrists and can score with what looks like just a simple flick, and is perfectly comfortable letting it go from 15 yards when given the opportunity. In addition, he's rather diverse with his release points and placement. I love what I've seen out of Wodazak as a senior, and I'll be intrigued to follow his development in college, as he'll be a part of a highly talented offensive class at PSU.
