About Ryan
Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Southard is an athletic pole with imposing size, polished footwork, and excellent fundamentals. In 1v1 situations, Southard excels at breaking down and then keeping the ball carrier in front of him for an extended period. His ability to apply constant pressure on a ball carrier’s hands is impressive. When the offensive player eventually makes a mistake, Southard will deliver a heavy stick check that causes a turnover. Southard has demonstrated that he can use crafty lifts and pokes to put the ball on the turf too. When the ball hits the ground, Southard’s nose for the rock combined with his nifty stick skills enables him to pounce on the GB. Southard will then smartly decide to either leg the ball out himself, fire a clearing pass up field or roll back and distribute to the goalie. Lastly, Southard has proven that he owns the discipline and field awareness to lock off an opponent’s No. 1 option for an entire game.
