How Goldman, a First Team All-CIF pick in 2025, remains available is a mystery. But with a monster junior season looming, I am confident a college program will scoop up Goldman shortly. Goldman is an extraordinary three-sport athlete (hoops & wrestling too) with speed, agility, and a powerful build. On the lacrosse field, those assets enable Goldman to repeatedly win clamps cleanly and race into the offensive end to create scoring opportunities. Goldman’s filthy stick skills make him a legitimate threat to fire one into the back of the net on those fast breaks. Plus, Goldman also owns fantastic passing instincts that enable him to distribute at the exact right moment. When things get chaotic at the dot, Goldman’s physicality will overpower his opponent so that his crafty stick can then secure possession. Goldman also possesses a nonstop motor and a high energy level that is contagious. College coaches will love those elements of Goldman’s game.    

Goldman is one of the top options still available for programs looking to add a face-off specialist in the ’27 class. At the X, his strength and technique make him difficult to beat, and he’s capable of taking over games with his pinch-and-pop forward.

What sets Goldman apart is his ability to contribute after the win. He’s a confident ball handler who stays composed under pressure, and his stick skills allow him to push transition effectively. He’s not just a possession-getter—he’s also a legitimate scoring threat when he keeps the ball in his stick. That combination of dominance at the X and impact beyond it makes Goldman an intriguing uncommitted prospect for college coaches.
