Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
In mid-October, Downs gave his verbal commitment to Drexel. That decision by Downs means the Dragons are getting an incredible two-way pole prospect. Downs is a speedy and athletic LSM / close defender who is a plus player in the transition game. Downs also will not hesitate to linger on the field for some 6v6 action. In both scenarios, this junior’s elusive stick maneuvers and refined shooting/passing skills make him a serious threat to score or drop a dime on a teammate. Downs is especially dangerous as a trailing pole on the fast break. On defense, Downs is a rangy and aggressive pole who can cause turnovers via his fierce stick checks or by taking the body. Downs has a knack for arriving early to the ball and causing havoc. Once the ball hits the turf, his lively stick and positioning skills allow Downs to vacuum up the ground ball. With his well-rounded skill set, Downs is a plus player on the face-off wing too.
