A smooth operator out of the midfield, this lefty from Colorado boasts the kind of athleticism that allows him to separate from his matchup with relative ease. From there, Brown often uncorks a clean three-quarters release that’s tough for goalies to track. Pairing a high lacrosse IQ with an assertive dodging style, he consistently gets to his spots and favors sweeping back to the middle of the field before unleashing his patented shot on the run. Praised by his coaches for making significant strides each season, his best lacrosse is clearly still ahead of him, and I’ll be eager to check back in and track his continued development over the next eight months.

One of the fastest-rising prospects in the 2028 class, Nico has the athleticism and skill set to become a household name on the national circuit. He’s an explosive dodger who can break down defenders with ease and create high-quality scoring chances for himself or his teammates. His combination of speed, balance, and control gives him a dynamic presence between the lines. Recently transitioning from the Colorado Kings to Mad Dog West Elite, Nico has only begun to scratch the surface of his potential. With his size, athleticism, and drive to improve, he’s poised for a breakout year that could put him squarely on the national radar.
