Gulotta is a rangy long-stick midfielder whose game-changing presence impacts every phase of the field. He thrives in transition, pushing the pace after scooping ground balls and using his stick to generate turnovers with well-timed takeaway checks. While his flash and highlight plays often catch the eye, Gulotta is equally dependable as a lockdown defender. Fundamentally sound, he combines the footwork of a close defender with the speed of an LSM, making him the ultimate defensive Swiss Army knife. Rarely beaten and consistently neutralizing his matchup, Gulotta is already committed to North Carolina, where his length, athleticism, and toughness should translate seamlessly to the next level.

Gulotta is one of the premier LSMs in the 2027 class and continues to check every box you look for at the position — and then some. He’s been a consistent head-turner at every major stop on the summer circuit, most recently making a big impression at Main Stage. Defensively, he thrives on pressure, playing with a relentless edge and disrupting opposing offenses at a high rate. He racked up 30 caused turnovers this spring at Iona Prep and has added plenty more since. What truly sets Gulotta apart, though, is his transition game. He presses off the ground, forces slides by cutting hard to the net, and can finish in tight or let it fly from range. Gulotta will be a perfect fit for a program that likes to run and gun.

Gulotta will not back down without a fight. He is a fast and physical defender with a stick check like no other. He is disruptive to his opponent, making him the perfect person for 1v1s and face-off battles. He is gritty and is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
