Nico Bilbao
About Nico
Expert Analysis
Dan Arestia | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Bilbao has been a top weapon at Weston HS, a perennial power in Connecticut’s Class S. This spring, he’ll be suiting up for prep school juggernaut Avon Old Farms, a program that routinely has some of the top-ranked recruits in the nation and plays truly elite competition. Bilbao is a two-sport athlete, playing midfield in lacrosse and wide receiver in football. Watch him off the catch in lacrosse, and you’ll see a football skill set at work. He receives the ball and shakes his man like a receiver getting off the line in football, or separating on a screen pass. He has good downhill speed and combines it well with a strong change of direction. Bilbao’s skills make him good at separating on his own, but he really excels at punishing poor footwork or angle play from a defender. With his elusiveness and change of direction, a bad approach or an overplay to either hand will mean Bilbao is getting to the net.
