Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Golden is an athletic, agile, and speedy midfield prospect. That trifecta combined with his polished stick skills enables Golden to excel in transition. Once he is below the restraining line, Golden can fire on net or draw the slide and then distribute to a teammate. In settled action, Golden’s ability to dodge going left or right and then shoot / pass with either hand presents serious match-up issues for defenders. Golden can also get downhill in a flash and then shake his defender via multiple change of direction moves. His ability to stop on a dime and then roll back for a shot is impressive. Golden’s step-down shooting must be respected too. This 2029 prospect has also flashed the ability to scramble back and play SSDM.

The upside on this athletic freshman midfielder is intriguing as Golden is just scraping the surface of his potential. Golden is an agile and speedy prospect who this fall displayed polished stick skills. He thrived in transition where Golden sprinted past opposing players and then cranked on net or drew a slide and then distributed to open teammates. He scored / passed on the run with both hands. In 6-on-6 action Golden proved to be a shifty initiator who got down the alley for shots on the run. Golden also proved he could get downhill, slam on the brakes, and then roll back for a clean look. Golden flashed a quick release on his powerful step-down shots too. As a bonus to his offensive skills, Golden proved he owns the size and athleticism to hustle back and play SSDM at a respectable level.
