Expert Analysis
Michael Campanile | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Axtell, one of two impressive faceoff specialists on the ’28 4 Leaf team, is known for how quick he is at the X. The most impressive part of his game is his exit speed. He doesn’t get caught up in many tie-ups because he doesn’t waste time trying to win 100% of the ball—once he has 51%, he’s gone.
At the IMLCA Players Summit, he won a lot of draws forward and played it smart by moving the ball quickly to his attackmen, but he’s just as comfortable directing his wings or exiting backward when needed. He’s not a big scoring threat, but that’s not due to a lack of stick skills. Under pressure, he’s calm and confident, using both hands and a variety of release points to move the ball to open teammates.
