Jacob Johnston has been squaring up on Varsity since his sophomore season (2024), where he was primarily seen playing defense, scooping up groundballs, & pushing transition at a high level. Jacob grew to become more than steady last year as a junior, contributing 31 goals & 10 assists (41 points). He plays a physical style all over the entire field with his stick & body. Johnston hustles hard to get back on defense. He is the ultimate safety valve who can hunt down players from behind the restraining line, beating them to the opposite restraining line with trail checks that de-twigs his opponent. Offensively, Jacob can step in for his own shot & smack corners! He works well in the two-man game, & looks comfortable when drawing the pole. Johnston is slippery & shows a high IQ with front swings to generate quick-hitting, easy goals. He was named 1st Team All Long Island last season & will look to push for a nod at All-American as a senior. The Swiss-Army Knife from St. Anthony’s is signed to play at Johns Hopkins.
