Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I‘m a midfielder that wants to play fast and shoot on the run. I create scoring opportunities off ball. I’ve played Box Lacrosse for 7 years and know how to be physical.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I grew up playing quarterback, point guard, and anchoring a 4x100, so I use all of those experiences to play smart, fast, and heads up. I’m just as happy feeding as I am finishing. I don’t dwell on mistakes and I hate losing.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

12X honor roll. National Society of High School Scholar’s Selectee.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I’ve always been involved in team sports and know how to play with respect and accountability. I grew up attending Catholic schools and attend mass weekly. I volunteer as student assistant coach of the varsity football team at St. Brigid of Kildare.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I broke my wrist playing box lacrosse just before my sophomore season. It was difficult not being on the field during practice and the first couple of games. I was able to make it back to the varsity squad by the fourth week of the season and was the team’s primary player at X. Our team finished ranked #2 in the state and we came back to win the State Championship the next year.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a program that plays with speed and emphasizes passing to off ball cutters. The athletic and academic departments need to challenge me to be the best version of myself. I want to be part of a team that’s a good partner within the community.
