McAndrew is an extremely intelligent and efficient player who quietly elevates the level of play of everyone around him with what he brings to a midfield line. He scored in every game I saw in March and was steadily productive throughout non-conference play. His coaching staff and opposing coaches alike praised his ability to handle every responsibility at a high level, as he’s constantly setting great picks and creating offense both for himself and for others with how much he excels off-ball. Incredibly two-handed, McAndrew has found success dodging the alleys, but he’s also capable of making things happen off the re-dodge. His numbers may not jump off the page, but McAndrew is just so productive for how infrequently the ball is in his stick, and it seems as though the Prep offense is at its best when he’s on the field.

McAndrew is an athletic midfield prospect with legitimate two-way upside, and his offensive game is what pops first. He’s a dynamic dodger who plays with varied tempo and a real feel for getting to advantageous spots on the field. He can turn the corner down the alley, but he does a lot of his damage with his slide/shuffle and S-dodges in particular—where defenders tend to lose him because of how calm and controlled he stays through contact and traffic. He adds another layer with his ability to change postures, throw in hitches, and finish on the run with either hand, which makes him difficult to predict. At NHSLS, he was an absolute menace off-ball. He’s excellent as a mirror and as an inside presence around the crease, getting his hands free quickly and punishing lapses with a fast release.

Beyond the scoring package, his athleticism translates across phases. He can help on the wing at the faceoff X, hold his own in 1v1 matchups, and serve as a one-man clear when needed. McAndrew should be firmly on college coaches’ radar, and he’s the type who could take a noticeable jump as an upperclassman at Georgetown Prep.
