Expert Analysis
CJ Mezzatesta | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Macaluso is a high-impact long-stick midfielder whose combination of length, athleticism, and skill makes him one of the most dynamic players in his class. A key piece for the #1-ranked Sweetlax Upstate 2027 team, he was the driving force between the lines, consistently setting the tone with his energy and playmaking ability. His elite stick skills allow him to handle the ball with confidence in transition, turning defensive stops into instant offensive opportunities. At 6’2”, he uses his reach and anticipation to disrupt passes and win ground balls with ease. Macaluso’s motor, poise, and field awareness make him a complete LSM and a difference-maker at both ends of the field.

The LSM that had me double-checking my notes after goal that involved a slick under move against the Southwest team at New Balance Games was Joseph Macaluso. He consistently made his presence felt on both ends of the field, whether it was throwing a textbook over-the-head check for a caused turnover or making smart, physical slides against Baltimore. Macaluso has the ideal frame for a long stick midfielder and brings the kind of athleticism you’d expect from a multi-sport athlete. He’s calm and confident with the ball, pushes transition with poise, and isn’t afraid to take a chance when the opportunity presents itself.
