Eynon, a five-star ranked 19th overall, was outstanding this summer — particularly down the stretch, when he earned Goalie MVP honors at Main Stage. Coming away from that event, plenty of college coaches felt they had to make him a priority, even in a goalie class as talented and deep as any in recent memory. By late August, the buzz centered on Notre Dame, Duke, and Princeton, and if I’d been making a crystal ball prediction like the football recruiting analysts, I would have picked him to commit to the Fighting Irish.

When he went out for his visit to Ohio State, Eynon got what can only be described as the Tasty treatment, spending time with All-American goalie Caleb ‘Big Tasty’ Fyock, who has one of the more magnetic personalities I’ve ever been around. Eynon left with an offer, and soon after, he pledged to Ohio State. When he comes in, Fyock will have just graduated, so the talented Long Island native will have the opportunity to fight for the job and become another potential four-year starter in Columbus.

Eynon brought a surge of energy to the All-Star Game at Main Stage. He earned Goalie MVP honors after a steady and impactful performance in the final game of the day. I counted that the New York native stopped three shots and allowed three goals, which is a solid performance in a fast-paced showcase, especially when compared to the one- or two-save outings from other goalies. What set Eynon apart was his ability to kickstart transitions after a save. He consistently made long, accurate outlet passes that changed the field and initiated fast breaks, showing great poise and vision. With his performance on one of the summer’s biggest stages, Eynon is ready to continue climbing in a strong 2027 goalie class.

He may not be a show-stopper right off the bat, but after a few games, I developed a tremendous appreciation for the way he played and how he led his defense en route to a championship. Eynon is the epitome of a ‘steady Eddie’ at his position. He never got too high, he never got too low, and he was just as impactful out of the net as he was inside the crease, where he’s patient and always in control. I was incredibly impressed with how disciplined Eynon was. He didn’t bite on doorstep fakes, holding his line and coming up big. He embraced and excelled at all facets of his job, which included run-outs, big groundballs, timely saves in the clutch, and communicating with his teammates when the game was on the line. The future is bright for Eynon, who was named All-Nassau County as a freshman and is on pace to be a rare five-year starter.
