About Colin
Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
McGrath is an incredibly athletic midfielder with considerable size who showcased an extraordinarily well-rounded skill set. At the NJ vs. Philly Fall Challenge, McGrath scored and distributed, operated with both hands, blew past, or ran through opposing defenders, and even dropped back to play a little SSDM. His explosive first step and smooth face dodges made initial defenders look like they were standing in concrete. He then swiftly dashed into open space for cranks at the net. When the help defense slid to him, McGrath’s high IQ and field vision produced several Instagram worthy assists. McGrath’s field awareness and ability to read a defense enabled to quarterback the EA offense from anywhere in the offensive end. The multi-skilled McGrath is committed to Richmond.

is an offensive weapon who started regularly contributing for the Churchmen down the stretch in May as a sophomore (2025). Colin tallied 22 goals & 11 assists (32 points) from the Midfield this past spring. He scored 1 goal in an 8-7 win over the Fords to help EA share the Regular season Inter-Ac title for the first time in 27 years. McGrath was able to find himself scoring again weeks later against Malvern in the PAISAA semi-finals. He looked like a man amongst boys at the tryouts that could develop into an elite prospect who will make noise at the NCAA level!

With an equal number of goals and assists, McGrath is ready to break your ankles any chance he gets. Rated 4.33/5, his field vision, off-ball movement, and standout lacrosse IQ make him comparable to the pros. The thing that stands out the most is the mere fact that his left-hand and right-hand stick skills are nearly the same. One quick dodge and that ball is going straight to the back of the net.

Read EvaluationTy Xanders | Prep Lacrosse Scout
During the first half of the season, McGrath has steadily produced two or more points a game for first-year head coach Steve Colfer, who has a young gem on his hands in McGrath along with a talented group of sophomores on offense. With an athletic 6’2 frame, he has made a habit out of attacking shortstick matchups, but he’s also excellent without the ball and great at setting quality picks that often result in the ball going into the back of the net. Like any freshman, there have been some growing pains – he could stand to touch up his shot selection – but there’s a lot to like about what McGrath brings to the table, especially when thinking about where his game could go from here. The combination of size, athleticism, and skill is intriguing, and he’ll only get better with another three years as a starter in the Inter-Ac.
