Expert Analysis
Ty Xanders | Prep Lacrosse Scout
You can count on one hand the number of midfielders who get from one restraining line to the other as quickly as McGinty. Slotted into an SSDM role for the Bruins this spring, he’s the kind of athlete who can tilt the field. His speed is his most elite trait, but his competitive edge is just as defining. He fully embraces his role, harassing opposing dodgers’ hands and flipping his hips to stay in step, consistently disrupting scoring opportunities. McGinty is relentless off the ground, routinely winning contested balls and sparking fast breaks. In transition, his athleticism and decision-making have stood out for a ‘Wick team that operates like a well-oiled machine when going from defense to offense. On the club circuit, he’s everywhere, making game-changing plays in settled offense, scooping up tough groundballs, and giving opposing midfielders fits at the top of the box. With the ball in his stick, he hits another gear, making everyone around him look like they’re standing still. Simply put, McGinty is a pleasure to watch and bound to be coveted by many recruiters come summer.
