About Jett
Expert Analysis
Niko Amato | Prep Lacrosse Scout
A composed presence in the cage, Jett Stake operates with a level of poise, timing, and unique confidence. Lawrenceville’s tradition of elite goalies continues with him—steady and efficient under legitimate pressure.
Stake’s fundamentals jump off the screen. He holds his line with disciplined footwork, maximizing reaction time while keeping his chest square through shots. His body control shows up in consecutive stops in tight—his back-to-back denials against St. Anthony’s shooters preview exactly how his ACC style will translate in Chapel Hill. He’s comfortable challenging with a higher arc, trusts his hands, and moves pipe-to-pipe with controlled urgency. Stake also has a nose for the ball through X and demonstrates a reliable understanding of rebound angles and reset situations.
Despite his calm exterior, Stake brings spark. He’s level-headed between whistles but injects emotional momentum into his defense with timely energy—celebrations, big-moment presence, and a belief that radiates into the teams he backstops.
Lawrenceville (NJ) finished 17–3, dropping only to eventual MIAA champion Calvert Hall (MD) 6–7 in OT, Brunswick (CT) 7–8, and perennial powerhouse St. Anthony’s (NY)—the 2025 NSCHSAA Class AAA Champions—7–13. Jett was consistently strong in each matchup. His 14-save performance against Salisbury (CT) in an 8–6 win was an early national statement: battle-tested, prepared, and capable of dictating outcomes against top-tier rosters.
Stake verbally committed to North Carolina less than 48 hours after Sept. 1 contact opened—a reflection of how highly UNC valued him and how clearly he fits their identity. Lawrenceville and Team 91 have shaped him into one of the premier goalies in the 2027 class: technically sound, big-game ready, and trending upward.
UNC is getting a cornerstone piece in goal—calm enough to stabilize a defense and competitive enough to elevate one. A goalie built for the moments that matter most!
