Expert Analysis

Carey Smith

Prep Lacrosse Scout

One of the biggest summer stock risers in the region recently flipped his commitment from Trinity to Villanova. In landing Shanahan, the Wildcats are adding an agile pole with imposing size and polished stick skills to their 2027 recruiting class. At 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, Shanahan is an intimidating defensive presence. Shanahan does a masterful job of getting into ball carriers early in their dodge and stopping the play with his physicality. But with his noteworthy speed, polished footwork, and crafty stick, Shanahan can also play a finesse game. He can pursue ball carriers on the perimeter for long stretches and cause turnovers via pokes, lifts, and slaps. Shanahan can also chase down ground balls and secure possession in a crowd. Plus, he can operate as a one-man clear. Around the cage, Shanahan executes timely slides and double teams. Shanahan’s long wingspan and active stick allow him to deflect or intercept passes
