Expert Analysis
Michael Campanile | Prep Lacrosse Scout
If I am a college coach looking to add a defender to my ‘27 class, I would be keeping tabs on Shah. He’s a defender who plays more like an LSM because he adds a lot of pressure to his matchup and provides a lot in transition. Defensively, the first thing that stood out was his ability to land checks while still handling change of direction well. He could add a little more quickness in one-on-one situations, but he makes up for it with his physicality and knack for forcing turnovers. In transition, his stick work and confidence with the ball really show up. He’s a legit scoring threat when he pushes the tempo, and defenses have to respect that, which opens things up for easy draw-and-dump looks to his attackmen. Shah is the type of defender who can impact the game beyond just locking someone off.
