Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
The defending 3A state champions lost a host of offensive talent to graduation, so Ryan will be expected to start making major contributions for the Cougars beginning this fall. Good news, from what we witnessed this summer, Ryan has the athleticism and skills to have a significant impact for Springfield as a two-way midfielder. Ryan owns impressive speed, can change directions on a dime and play with either hand. When he gets downhill, Ryan does a fantastic job of maintaining possession in traffic by protecting his stick with his body or maneuvering it to avoid checks. Ryan can fire on the run from multiple angles. He effectively uses bouncers while on the move, too. His field vision and ability to anticipate defensive slides / double teams make Ryan a smooth distributor. Ryan is also capable of hustling back and providing a menacing on-ball presence at SSDM.
