About Drew
Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Rothman is a1st Team All-State pole out of New Jersey who just committed to Syracuse. At 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, Rothman’s intimidating physical presence pops immediately. Watch him for a game or two, and what will really impress you is Rothman’s agility and extremely active stick that enable him to play a suffocating style of defense. Rothman can stay glued to a ball carrier for long stretches and, when the opportunity presents itself, cause a turnover via stick checks, pokes, lifts, and overheads as well as by taking the body. The high IQ Rothman also does a fantastic job of coming off his man to execute timely double teams or trail checks that put the ball on the ground. In unsettled action, Rothman has a knack for pushing up to midfield and then stopping transition opportunities for opposing teams. With his sizeable wingspan and anticipation skills, Rothman also has a habit of disrupting passing lanes with his stick.

Read EvaluationEric Bretz | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Rothman is a lengthy defender with the versatility to play on the wing or close defense and can have a positive impact at either position. He plays smart and fast, using his athleticism to press out on opponents and when his matchup gets a step on him, he displays good make-up speed to get back into the play. When defending on-ball, the Seton Hall Prep product is a pest and times his checks well to disrupt the offense with good lateral quickness and strength deter opponents from dodging. Rothman throw hard checks, while staying on the gloves and when there is a loose ball, he has a knack for finding it and creating transition opportunities. He handles the ball with confidence and shows off his stick skills when evading pressure or drawing a slide on the fast break. Recognized as one of the top recruits in his class, I would think he would be making his decision in the near future.
