Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
In 2025, Tinsley burst onto the recruiting scene after he posted 52 goals and 26 assists during his freshman campaign at Sun Valley. For a 2028 prospect, Tinsley’s footwork and stick skills are refined beyond his years. Those items combined with his creative offensive instincts and speed make Tinsley impossible to defend 1-on-1. Tinsley’s high lacrosse IQ and field awareness helps him strike a beautiful balance between getting his teammates involved and taking advantage of his own scoring opportunities. This versatile, quick twitch athlete is comfortable operating at X and the wing as well as around the crease. Tinsley is especially adept at initiating from X, pushing up the hash and then quickly turning inside for a shot on the run. Or Tinsley can dodge from behind the net, dash around the corner and then use an inside roll for a finish along the crease. College coaches will love that Tinsley is a plus player on the ride, too.
