No player turned more heads at the Best in Class event than Oakey, and for good reason — he flat-out filled up the stat sheet inside Chase Fieldhouse. On Tuesday, he posted 3 goals and 1 assist against Team 5. He followed that up on Wednesday with an explosive 5-goal, 1-assist performance against Team 2. In a showcase packed with offensive talent, Oakey was the name everyone was talking about.

What makes Oakey so dangerous is how easily he creates offense — both with and without the ball. With it, he’s smooth and composed, using a well-timed rollback to get to the middle of the field and set up high-quality shots. Without the ball, he consistently finds soft spots in the defense, particularly on the righty wing, where he’s become a serious off-ball threat. Oakey’s not just a one-handed scorer, either. He’s shown he can finish with his left, adding another layer to his offensive toolkit. He’s got a deadly quick-release underhand shot, powered by snappy wrists that make it tough for goalies to track. One highlight-reel moment included a backhand finish in traffic — the kind of creativity and confidence that separates elite scorers from the rest of the pack. Even when defenses key in on him or send early slides, Oakey stays composed. He can absorb contact, get his shot off through pressure, and still find the back of the net. Oakey proved himself as one of the most polished and productive offensive players in the 2027 class, showing the kind of scoring instincts and toughness that translate to the next level.

Henry Oakey Henry Oakey 5'9" | A | Right Hand Taft School | 2027 #78 Nation CT is an attackman with all the makings of a true offensive quarterback. He combines sharp finishing ability with exceptional vision, consistently finding open teammates and creating scoring opportunities. With a quick first step and a high lacrosse IQ, Henry has the tools to command the offense. The team is excited for him to break through the lineup and make an impact this season.

A Richmond native whose father played for Virginia’s 1999 national championship team, the younger Oakey is a promising quarterback type who does much of his damage when operating from X. The smooth operator is blessed with an innate field sense and superb vision, doling out beautiful assists due to passing ability that is beyond his years, even mixing in underhand passes. Oakey, who played with Eclipse before recently switching over to Madlax, shoots a pretty ball from mid-range when he’s not distributing or beating his man off the dodge, something he’s able to do with frequency as a result of his quick first step.
