Maggio looked like he had an extra dose of caffeine—in the best possible way—at the Project 9 event. His feet were constantly chopping to mirror dodgers, his stick was active in passing lanes, and his energy level never dipped. That’s exactly what you want in an LSM: a player who plays like he’s powered by a motor.

Beyond his relentless on-ball defense, Maggio stood out in the ground game and in transition. He’s confident with the ball in his stick and moves like an offensive midfielder, dodging past defenders and completing high-difficulty passes that most poles wouldn’t attempt. With his nonstop energy, smooth stickwork, and ability to spark transition, Maggio fits the mold of the modern two-way LSM—and Army landed one who looks ready to contribute early.

JP Maggio JP Maggio 6'0" | 170 lbs | LSM | Right Hand IMG Academy | 2026 FL is a force on the field, dominating with hustle from goal line to goal line. JP uses a heavy chop with nagging poke checks, can-openers, & whatever else he can do to get into the ball carrier’s hands. Maggio is extremely disruptive with his active stick & is an absolute wizard at dislodging the ball. In addition to causing turnovers, scooping up the ground ball & stealing possessions is something JP normalizes. Valuable in the clear & on the man-down unit as he has the skill set of an offensive midfielder playing with a long stick. Maggio is a heads up & ready before the whistle type of player. Look for him to use his instincts to get ahead of the play as he can leak out & cause problems for opponents in the transition game. He is a good passer with quality stickwork & one of the highest lax IQ’s on the field. Maggio is disciplined with his breakdowns & shuffles quickly into proper positioning. Verbally committed to the Army.
