Joe Ligas Joe Ligas Joe Ligas 6'1" | 185 lbs | D | Left Hand Whitney | 2026 #12 Nation CA earned 1st Team All Sierra Foothill League in addition to being named the SFL MVP in 2024. He was a Team Captain as well as MVP for Whitney as a sophomore. Joe is a technical defender with an ideal frame. He is fundamentally sound in his positioning & breakdown skills. Ligas can match feet with the quickest attackmen & dictate their movement with impeccable check timing as well as physical engagement. He is balanced in his backpedal with rapid shuffling skills allowing him to close the gate & turn attackers back below the goal line extended. Joe wins his matchup early & often with quick piston-like feet. He is mature off of the ball keeping a head on a swivel while maintaining his stick on his man. Ligas is a strong presence with exceptional stick skills. He is in gloves or passing lanes knocking the ball down & scooping it up. Joe is instinctive in passing to the head man up-field & he runs the field with speed. He is an all-around sensational defender who rarely beats himself. A consensus top player in the 2026 class & five-star prospect. Verbally committed to Notre Dame.
