Expert Analysis
Michael Campanile | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Tuttle led Brunswick, one of the best teams in the country, in points as a sophomore, and a lot of that production comes from his off-ball play. In a class filled with ball-dominant attackmen, I do not think it is a stretch to say he is one of, if not the, best off-ball players in the class. At minimum, that skill set should help him find a role on an EMO unit early at the next level. He times his cuts well, exposes helping defenders, and anticipates the next play better than most. His release is probably the biggest reason he scores so often. He is outstanding at catching the ball loaded and quick-sticking shots with the right mix of velocity and touch to beat goalies to spots. His bigger frame also helps him generate power and makes him difficult for defenders to handle.
At Showtime, two nuances of his game showed up that were not as obvious to me before. One was the way he set up his dodges, using subtle shuffles to lull defenders into giving him what he wanted to get his hands free. The other was his craftiness, which also shows up on his spring film. He uses his wrists and creativity really well to sneak shots and feeds past defenders and goalies. Tuttle offers college coaches a different type of attackman, and how high he sits on a board may simply come down to what style of player a staff values most.

Tuttle
6'2" | 195 lbs | A/M | Right Hand
Brunswick School | 2028
CT
is a 6’2” attackman who already plays the game with elite skill and an advanced understanding well beyond his age. He is consistently the smartest player on the field, using his positioning, both on and off the ball, to create advantages for himself and his teammates. With the ball in his stick, Tuttle is a powerful and purposeful dodger who can break down defenders and score from multiple spots on the field. He brings a heavy outside shot and is equally dangerous as an interior finisher, making him a matchup problem at all levels. Off-ball, he is relentless, constantly moving, communicating, and disrupting defensive schemes. A natural leader whose energy and presence elevate the entire group, Tuttle has already proven himself by starting for Brunswick as a freshman and stands out as one of the top attackmen in the 2028 class.

The freshman attackman was nothing short of impressive. Earning a starting spot on Brunswick’s varsity team as a freshman is no small feat, and Tuttle has proven he belongs. He brings a rare combination of size, confidence, and swagger that allows him to stand out on the field, not just as a young player but as a true contributor. He plays well beyond his years and looks every bit the part of a future star.

Another talented transfer from out west, the Colorado product has been a force on the ’27 circuit, playing locally with a loaded CO Kings squad as well as the West Coast Starz and now 2Way. A creative and crafty scorer with a Canadian-like handle around the cage, Tuttle has a big frame and moves with fluidity, unleashing a hard, accurate shot from range or finishing with flair inside. Poised and noticeably two-handed for his age, he plays an excitable style while checking plenty of boxes as a goal-scorer. He displayed impressive chemistry with Bligh at IMLCA and could slot in at either attack or midfield this spring, depending on how things shake out. Expect to see plenty of highlight reel-worthy plays from Tuttle on King Street for years to come.
