Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Flipped from Williams College to Cornell…
This highly decorated high school quarterback was on his way to play football at Williams College, but that recently changed when Backes decided to flip to Cornell. The defending NCAA National Champions are adding an extremely athletic and fast midfielder who can play at a high level with both hands. Backes owns an explosive first step which allows him to blow past the initial defender. His nifty stick and body maneuvers enable Backes to elude the sliding defenders so he can unleash a powerful overhand or rip sidearm for a goal. Additionally, Backes is a serious threat to crank a long-range step down into the back of the net. The Big Red coaching staff will also love Backes’ energy and non-stop motor.
