Simply put, Bichelmeyer is a problem. The 6’5, 225-pound Missouri native accounted for six of Western Reserve’s 10 goals in a one-goal loss at Loyola Blakefield, showcasing his ability to produce in a variety of ways. A high-percentage scorer who refuses to settle for average shots, Bichelmeyer gets to his spots at will. Slides were no match for him — he powered through defenders and finished in front of the cage with grit. Incredibly nimble for his size, he has a smooth inside roll, but he’s just as deadly as mid-range shooter when given time and room. He’s just a load to handle, no matter the defensive effort. Expect him to make an impact early and often in Columbus. 

Physically, Bichelmeyer is an absolute bear. Tailor-made for the Big 10, the Kansas native and Rockhurst (Mo.) graduate likely projects as an offensive midfielder at the next level, however, he played attack this past weekend and looked incredibly comfortable both above and below GLE. Against Lawrenceville, he executed a nasty inside roll while covered by a highly touted Michigan commit and was a highly productive matchup problem all weekend. There’s obviously a considerable amount of power in his game, but also he moves impeccably well and dodges with fluidity, plus he’s cool under pressure when the slide inevitably comes. Bichelmeyer made things happen off the re-dodge on multiple occasions and was a force on his wing dodges and sweeps across the top.
