Griffin Hamner
About Griffin
Expert Analysis
Michael Campanile | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Hamner has established himself as one of the premier defensive prospects in the 2027 class. The tall, physical, and confrontational defender is the backbone of the Highland Park defense, setting the tone with his intensity and presence. On-ball, he stays glued to opposing attackmen, using his size and strength to smother dodges while his length allows him to take calculated risks on checks without losing position. When opponents try to test him, he has the power to jam and recover, neutralizing threats before they become dangerous. Off-ball, Hamner is just as effective. His stance is always loaded, ready to pounce on skip passes or clean up ground balls with ease. His size gives him the ability to slide quickly and put ball carriers on the turf without needing an extra step, making him a nightmare for offenses to account for. Mean, skilled, and relentless, Hamner embodies the kind of defender who not only erases matchups but makes opponents think twice about coming his way.
