About Anthony
Expert Analysis
Niko Amato | Prep Lacrosse Scout
A legacy blue-chip recruit out of Long Island, Anthony Asaro plays with the expectation — and delivery — of someone carrying forward a championship standard. Anthony has a high motor, is smooth in transition, tilting possessions with tempo, always in command of the moment. He is efficient and plays with an edge! His downhill bursts force defenses into uncomfortable positions, yet he’s just as dangerous keeping the offense connected with quick exchanges and unselfish reads.
The biggest stages have brought out Asaro’s best. He delivered four goals in the Nassau County (Class B) Championship revenge win over Manhasset (NY), punctuating a dominant second half that swung the rivalry back in the Trojans’ favor. In the New York State (Class B) Championship against Canandaigua (NY), he authored a hat trick in a variety of ways: powering through multiple defenders for a physical finish, dialing up long distance strike from center field, & picking up a 50/50 loose ball in the offensive end, flowing through top of the box he displayed an effortless split on the run lefty with a serious snap on his shot. Garden City closed the year 21–2 with another state title, and he was at the heart of it.
Anthony’s sophomore production matched his presence: 58 points (37 goals, 21 assists) and 21 ground balls, building on the foundation he set as a freshman contributor in 2024. His game translates because he processes quickly, plays within structure, and elevates those around him. He manipulates slides, keeps the ball hot, re-attacks space when defenses hesitate, and consistently makes winning decisions without overplaying his hand.
Off the field, co-founding Ferda Community Lacrosse Inc. reflects the same leadership and humility that show up between the lines — a team-first mindset wired into everything he does.
Verbally committed to North Carolina, he projects as a physically dominant, cerebral ACC midfielder with true two-way impact and All-American upside. This is the type of player college coaches build their midfields around for years.
