Standout Uncommitted Prospects to Keep An Eye On This Fall

Below is a preview of five prospects we will be watching closely this fall.    This lefty attackman has become one of the most feared offensive threats in the Class of 2028 and will be a hot commodity next fall. Ika operates primarily from the lefty wing spot where he can carve up opposing defenses with his scoring or distributing. The combination of his quick release and ability rip from multiple angles makes Ika a lethal shooter. Ika can also execute a shot fake, followed by a face dodge, and then dash to the net for a dunk. When he initiates from the wing, Ika's speed and shake enable him to sweep across the defense for shots on the run. Once he establishes that sweep, Ika can use a crafty hitch move to get his defender off balance and then quickly dip underneath for a run to the cage. Ika has proven that he can get downhill from up top too. His field vision and timing allow Ika to operate as an elite feeder from anywhere on the field. Ika's is especially effective at distributing to the crease or backside while he is on the move. Ika is effective in give-n-go action, too.     During his impressive junior campaign, Masterson recorded 49 goals to go along with 33 assists and was a Florida 2A 1st Team All-State selection. Then across the summer 2025 tournaments, Masterson torched opposing defenses on the club circuit. Masterson can create scoring opportunities from anywhere in the offensive end, but he is especially lethal when operating from X. The combination of his quick first step with his deceptive moves enables Masterson to cook his defender and then dash around the corner for a scoring opportunity in-close. His ability to elude the slide defender and get to the front of the crease is impressive. Masterson can also turn the corner and then push up field before turning an unleashing a deceptive jump shot. This poised attack is a creative feeder from X too. When he operates front of the net, Masterson's timely off ball movements produce open looks for him. On the wing, his catch and fire skills must be respected. As a bonus to all his elite skills, Masterson comes from a winning high school program. Lake Mary captured the 2023 as well as 2024 2A Florida state titles and advanced to the Final 4 in 2025     Ogden is an athletic two-way mid with blazing speed, a solid frame and polished stick skills. He thrives in transition, where he can go coast-to-coast for a goal or to drop a dime on a teammate. Ogden has also displayed remarkable instincts and that he values possession. Therefore, he does not take unnecessary risks on the fast break. In settled action, Ogden's quick burst and elusive stick maneuvers enable him to run past multiple defenders until he finds open space for a shot. Ogden is a patient offensive prospect who will not hesitate to re-dodge to create a scoring opportunity for himself or a teammate. As a SSDM, Ogden is menacing on-ball presence and excels at picking up GBs. He is a plus player in the clearing game too. In addition to his physical attributes and lacrosse skills, Ogden possesses all the intangibles college coaches obsess over.     The first two items that pop about Penn are his intimidating frame and the all-around power with which he plays. When Penn walks on the field, it is obvious that he has spent considerable time in the weight room and has never skipped leg day. Whether he is getting into a dodger early, sliding with intent or running through opposing players on a clear, Penn plays with an obvious physical edge to his game. Penn's powerful stick and body checks frequently create turnovers. His fierce stick checks often cause turnovers via yard sales. Penn can play a finesse defensive game too. He owns the speed and refined footwork to pursue a ball carrier on the perimeter for an extended period. Once he sees an opening, Penn will use a crafty poke or lift to put the ball on the turf. Penn's impressive speed makes him a legitimate threat to push the ball in transition.        This athletic, two-way pole was a key part of Mt. Lebanon's deep run in the 2025 PIAA state tournament. Then this past summer Thompson turned heads again with his outstanding play at both ends of the field. College coaches will love Thompson's transition skills. His speed, elusive cuts and shifty stick maneuvers enable him to scoop up a ground ball or receive a clearing pass and then lead the charge into the offensive end. Once he gets below the restraining line, Thompson is a legitimate threat to crank a shot into the back of the net. At the defensive end, that same speed and agility enables Thompson to stay glued to ball carriers in open space for long stretches. Thompson has shown that he can create turnovers with his stick as well as by taking the body. His powerful overheads always dislodge the ball from the opposing offensive player. Thompson has displayed a sound understanding of team defensive concepts too.
