Wood is an athletic and extraordinarily mobile long pole who can play LSM or close defense. With his speed, smooth lateral movements and active stick Wood excels at pursing ball carriers between the lines as well as in 6v6 action. When the offensive player presents an opening, Wood will deliver a forceful stick check or crafty lift / poke that causes a turnover. Once the ball hits the turf, Wood’s aggressive stick work and positioning skills enable him to vacuum up the GB. At close defense, Wood can provide physical on-ball defense at X and around the crease. Plus, his slides, double teams, and recoveries are always on point. Wood also does a fantastic job of disrupting passing lanes with his stick. We expect a monster 2026 season from this versatile and talented 2028 defensive prospect.
