Expert Analysis

I first evaluated Harrison Tyler last June when he played up with the 2027s at Best in Class, and frankly, his game has not changed much. He is still very two-handed and still does a ton of damage behind the cage with his mix of rockers and finisher-type moves. At Showtime, he played on both the lefty and righty wing as an attackman, which says a lot about how comfortable he is with either hand. He remains excellent at faking and finishing around the cage, and he can lever feeds through before slides get to his hands.
One area where I have noticed growth is in reducing turnovers. His dodging also really stood out to me at Showtime. That part of his game has always been elite in the way he gains a step on defenders to free his hands for shots or draw slides, but his roll dodge especially jumped out. It does not matter whether it is a pole or a short stick, or whether the defender knows it is coming. Tyler is outstanding at baiting defenders into lunging and using their own cross-checks against them. Plenty of players roll dodge, but few do it with his timing and feel where defenders are left lunging at air.
I have heard the argument that Tyler needs to improve as a range shooter, but I am not sure that matters much, given how efficient he is when he takes high-quality shots in tight. The one area where I would still like to see a little more is his off-ball play. Even so, Tyler’s body of work keeps him near the very top of the board and firmly in the elite category.

One of the most highly regarded attack prospects in the Class of 2028 has continued to impress college coaches and scouts this fall. At events like Lawrenceville’s Red & Black Game as well as the NLF Fall Invite, Tyler’s combination of speed, elusive change of direction moves, and filthy stick skills made him impossible to defend 1v1. Tyler initiated from everywhere in the offensive end, but he excelled at operating from X. From behind the net, his explosive first step enabled Tyler to cook the initial defender, turn the corner and then score along the crease. When he was in close, Tyler’s deep and creative bag of finishing moves rendered goalies helpless. Tyler also initiated from X, drove up the hash and then unleashed jump shots. His ability to patiently hold the ball at X, and then feed cutters was impressive too.

Harrison Tyler showed at the Best in Class event that he’s more than just a scorer — he’s a complete offensive weapon. Whether he’s finishing plays himself or setting up his teammates, Tyler knows how to generate points and make things happen on the field. Tyler turned heads with a slick finalizer move that ended in a highlight-reel goal, showcasing the kind of individual flair that grabs a scout’s attention. He’s especially effective around the crease, where his ability to change speeds, shake defenders, and stay poised under pressure makes him a consistent threat.
One of the most impressive aspects of his game is his true two-handedness. Tyler doesn’t just use his off hand — he trusts it. Whether he’s dodging, feeding, or shooting, he’s comfortable going either direction, which makes him incredibly tough to defend and allows his team to keep spacing fluid on offense. Tyler also has a strong sense of timing and field awareness. He understands when to push, when to feed, and how to manipulate defenders to create quality opportunities. Harrison Tyler is a dual-threat attackman with sharp finishing ability, true two-handed skills, and a playmaker’s mindset.
