Expert Analysis
Ty Xanders | Prep Lacrosse Scout
An athletic thumper who looks the part at 6’2 and 200 pounds, Boyle moves exceptionally well for his size and embraces big matchups, showing his physicality and cover skills. At NAL, I was also rather impressed with his hands and stick work — he corralled every groundball on the first try and plucked passes out of the air or knocked them down to disrupt the flow of possessions. Boyle was at his best around GLE, where his big frame and sturdy lower body didn’t budge and helped him prevent notable ’28 attackmen from getting quality looks on cage. I liked how he picked the right times to throw checks and tailored his defensive approach based on who he was facing, relying on his position play and footwork when necessary. The constant was his physicality, which Boyle always displayed without ever getting overly aggressive. If this past weekend served as any indication, I’d count on him becoming one of the more highly recruited 2028 defenders in the region.
