Expert Analysis
Michael Campanile | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Kelleher brings an ideal mix of size, athleticism, and IQ, making him a standout among the 2028s at The Preview. He proved he can play both ends of the field, showing legitimate offensive upside from the LSM position. Against Duke’s Elite, Kelleher set the tone early, scoring the first goal of the game in transition off an assist from fellow pole Will Motland. Throughout the event, he handled the ball with poise and showed he can push transition confidently, serving as both a scoring and distributing threat. Defensively, Kelleher’s IQ and timing stood out. In the first quarter against Duke’s Elite, he slid hard to the ball, attacked the hands to create a turnover, and pushed transition before wisely pulling it out when the numbers weren’t there. With his combination of length, athleticism, and smart decision-making, Kelleher looks like one of the 2028s to watch as recruiting opens next September.
