At the end of April, Shone committed to Lafayette, which meant the Leopards’ coaching staff added an athletic, multi-skilled, and highly decorated pole to their 2026 class. Before he jumped to Western Reserve, Shone played at Portsmouth HS in New Hampshire, where he was the state DPOY as well as a USA Lacrosse All-American. On the field, Shone owns imposing size, aggressive style, and polished footwork. Combine those assets with his aggressive stick, and Lafayette is getting a close defender who could have an impact right away. Whether he is causing havoc on-ball or disrupting passing lanes with his stick, Shone excels at creating turnovers. His ability to pick up ground balls in traffic and then clear the ball with legs or a smart up-field pass is impressive. Additionally, Shone is a high-IQ pole whose slides and double teams are always on time.
