One of the faces of the Midwest in the 2028 class is headed to Seattle Prep. Old has solidified himself as one of the top lefties in a class known for its depth at the position. Since I evaluated him last year, the added nuances in his game point to the development Resolute has provided through winter box lacrosse. The play that first stood out came at Showtime, when Old used a hard windup to set up a face dodge. That move alone is not unusual for a field player. Still, the way he uses that windup to disguise not only his dodges, but also his shots and feeds, makes him incredibly difficult to defend—especially with the quick release that defenses have to respect.

Another noticeable part of his game has been his ability to score under pressure and in tight. On the run, he can free his hands even when the opportunity is not promising. Inside, his combination of soft hands and deception around the cage has been impressive. The pairing of Old and Brady Meehan gives Seattle Prep two high-level lefty attackmen, and it will be interesting to see how that combination looks this spring.

The lefty scoring presence from Ohio will be a tough matchup for opposing national teams this weekend. He spends much of his time on the lefty wing, where he’s equally dangerous going top side or underneath. When he goes top side, he’s a threat to rip a well-placed shot; if you slide, he can thread a skip pass or hit an open cutter. When he goes underneath, he’s efficient finishing in tight and has a knack for freezing goalies. Off-ball, he’s just as dangerous. He times his cuts well, forcing defenders to abandon their assignments and creating scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. With his combination of shooting, vision, and off-ball IQ, he projects as one of the toughest lefties to gameplan for in the 2028 class.
