Expert Analysis
Michael Campanile | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Jax Winstead is one of the more fundamentally sound defenders in the 2027 class and continues to improve every time he steps on the field. His defensive approach is textbook—he stays low in his stance, moves his feet well, and rarely overextends with stick checks. That discipline helps him win matchups without relying on risky plays. At the National All-Star Games with Team Maryland, he also impressed in the clearing game, showing poise under pressure and the ability to read and hit open targets in transition. Winstead’s IQ, footwork, and stick skills give him a strong foundation, and he’s the type of defender who will keep elevating as the game speeds up at the next level.
