The Colgate staff must be ecstatic about receiving a verbal commitment from this big, athletic, and versatile prospect. During his sophomore campaign Maurer played O-Mid as well as SSDM and even some attack. Last spring Maurer scored 42 goals and secured 44 ground balls. Maurer excels at pushing the fast break for a goal or an assist. His shifty moves and ability to run through contact enable Maurer to frequently go coast to coast. In settled action, Maurer is at his best when he gets downhill from up top and then fires a shot from 12-15 yards out while on the run. He also owns the elusive moves needed to avoid sliding poles and charge all the way to the net for an overhand dunk. From up top or the wing, Maurer does a tremendous job of moving the opposing defense with his eyes, a stick fake, or a quick dodge and then threading a dime to an open teammate. His ability to operate from X will catch opponents by surprise.            

Jake Maurer Jake Maurer 6'2" | 180 lbs | M | Right Hand Penfield | 2027 NY is an athlete with real next-level potential. The two-way midfielder missed day one because of football, but he made up for it on Sunday. On offense, his speed jumps off the field—he can flat-out run by defenders to get to his on-the-run shot, and he blows it past most goalies. In clearing and dodging situations, he’s shifty enough to split doubles and gain steps on match ups. On the defense end, he has next level type footwork and the strength to jam dodges off their line. He checks a lot of boxes for a true two-way middie and should be on plenty of radars moving forward.
