Cornell clearly had Spahr on its list of priority recruits, landing him less than a week into September. The upside is clear — he’s a big lefty who can shoot from range and help create offense from a variety of spots, as he’s proven himself at attack in the spring and midfield during the club seasons. As a sophomore, Spahr went off for 25 goals and 21 assists, doing an excellent job of nailing shots from the right hash with his feet set while building confidence as a dodger and feeder. Part of a promising youth movement for the Falcons a year ago, he can score under duress but also find cutters with nasty skip passes. Because of his size and how well he moves his 6’3 frame around, Spahr’s tough for defenders to get their hands on and can draw slides with regularity. The Big Red coaching staff has always done an excellent job identifying prospects whose best lacrosse is ahead of them, and Spahr fits that mold, so I’m excited to see where he takes his game.

This long, athletic, and fast lefty turned heads all summer. Spahr was a standout performer at NHSLS as well as the A.L.L. Summer Championships and played a significant role in Next Level’s unexpected run to 2027 division title game at Naptown. Thanks to his speed, elusive change direction moves and high IQ, Spahr is an open field phenom. Once he has crossed into the offensive zone, Spahr is a threat to unleash missiles from deep, draw a slide and then move the ball to an open teammate or run through stick checks and then score in close. In 6on6 action Spahr displayed serious shake as he frequently left defenders in the dust. Plus, Spahr proved he owns a deep bag of finishing moves he can execute for goals. This summer, Spahr also flashed the ability to play at attack.
