Seven Uncommitted 2025s From Long Island to Keep An Eye On

As the heart of summer lacrosse approaches, here's a breakdown of seven uncommitted 2025s from Long Island to keep track of.    One of Long Island's top attackmen still on the board, Byrne was a force this past spring and led Smithtown West to a county final appearance. He led the team in points and assists, registering 27 goals and 38 assists. Byrne is an excellent X attackman with a great change of direction. He shakes defenders out of their shoes, creating a ton of separation on his dodges. Byrne is undersized, but this young man is a playmaker with a good lacrosse IQ. A trait that stands out for him is his vision, as he makes some excellent feeds. He operates well behind the cage and has proven to be a true threat to come around and either score or feed with both hands. Byrne is a great quarterback for a Smithtown West offense that had a lot of success through ball movement and decision-making.     Mangio is one of the top shortstick defensive midfielders on Long Island. He stepped up when the lights were bright and had incredible outings against Massapequa and Half Hollow Hills to help the Dalers repeat as champs. Mangio is extremely physical and athletic. He's stronger than he looks, as there were moments where he essentially threw the player he was defending to the perimeter. He takes away topside and also throws some incredible crowbar checks. But outside of his 1-on-1 defense, Mangio impacted the game in so many ways. He was great on the wings and cleared the ball efficiently, running by defenders with ease. In transition, Mangio was a threat to shoot or he'd make the right pass to give his team a transition goal. Mangio registered 25 caused turnovers on the season and was named Nassau County Championship defensive MVP all as a shortstick.     Perhaps Nassau County's top uncommitted defender in the Class of 2025, LeSueur is a very intriguing prospect that Division I coaches have to keep an eye on. Listed at 6'3 and 190 pounds, he is a solid matchup against the bigger attackman. LeSueur is a patient defender with good technique and his size allows him to thrive against attackmen who try to play bully ball. He does a solid job not biting on hesitation moves and he stood in front of players where he'd use his big frame to muscle them to the outside. LeSueur is a skilled player with a very high ceiling who will receive attention from college coaches as the summer progresses.     Lennon was asked to do a lot in his junior season and he delivered. Lennon was asked to be a two-way midfielder for a Blue Devils team that didn't run a lot of middies. He had a great year finishing with 29 goals and 22 assists to guide his team to the Suffolk County semifinals in the deepest division on Long Island. At 6'1, Lennon is a big and athletic midfielder who can beat a pole and score with either hand. He has a great shot on the run and can rifle it from a distance. A threat to dish it to teammates, Lennon also picked up 22 helpers. During the high school season, he played the right way in Huntington's team-oriented offense and showed up in big games like Cold Spring Harbor and Half Hollow Hills. Lennon showed great hustle and the ability to be reliable on defense. In addition, he also carries a 4.0 GPA.       The crafty lefty for South Side made a case as the breakout player of the year on Long Island. After only scoring just eight goals as a sophomore, Lynch netted 53 in his junior season to finish second on the team. Lynch was a crucial piece to the state champions with his ability to play anywhere within the offense. The Cyclones had him at midfield and due to his athleticism, the opposition was forced to double-pole the midfield, at times even triple-poling. He has a laser of a lefty shot and proved he can score in a variety of ways. Lynch can beat poles from anywhere on the field and can score on contested shots on the run. Lynch has become an incredible goal-scorer who can place the ball anywhere, change levels constantly, and sling it from 15 yards and in with ease.     Not too many people know about Hewlett, but the Bulldogs have one of the county's top goalies in Lankri. The uncommitted netminder was challenged a ton during his junior year and put together a phenomenal season, making over 200 saves and was tied for second in the county in save percentage at 68 percent. A pure athlete between the pipes, Lankri is the type of goalie who can flat-out steal saves on golden chances for the opposition. He had numerous door-stop saves and also showed his ability to make impressive off-stick stops. He had double-digit games with 14 or more saves.     Harborfields was more of a defensive-minded team, but its offense was sparked by Ritcey's goal-scoring ability. The right-handed attackman is highly skilled and has an excellent shot. He has a very quick release, making him dangerous as a catch-and-shoot threat. He showed some slick footwork to spin past defenders and create shots for himself. On tape, he showed good instincts in unsettled situations where he found the back of the net or made the right read. Ritcey placed the ball well and showed his riding ability throughout the season. He led Harborfields in goals and will be a great offensive player for Igloo this summer.
