Donahueis a major disruptive force at LSM who committed to Lafayette in mid-November. When Donahue is not stripping ball carriers, he is jamming up passing lanes with his stick or executing well-timed slides. His ability to come off his man at the right moment and apply a double team that causes a turnover is especially noteworthy. This athletic pole can also cause turnovers via powerful slaps as well as crafty lifts, pokes, and overheads. Donahue’s polished footwork and textbook technique allow him to stay in front of ball carriers for long stretches. His speed and ball hawk skills enable him to track down GBs, secure possession and then carry the ball into the offensive end. Donahue is a versatile prospect who has demonstrated that he can play close defense and SSDM too.   

Miles Donahue has performed well throughout the events where I’ve seen him. What stands out most is his versatility—he’s capable of playing with a short stick, which speaks to his footwork and physicality. On-ball, he makes life difficult for dodgers with heavy slap checks and well-timed takeaway attempts. He’s a beast between the lines and brings energy in transition. I saw him score a goal with a shortstick at Best in Class and later put one away with his pole in the Main Stage All-Star Game. Donahue brings a lot to the table and makes things happen on both ends.
