Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Shoemaker is an extraordinarily athletic prospect (also a football standout) who can play midfield as well as attack and even FOGO. This extremely versatile player recently gave his verbal commitment to Manhattan. The Jaspers are adding a downhill style offensive prospect who thrives in transition as well as at making plays in 6v6 while on the run. In both scenarios, Shoemaker can shoot or distribute with either hand. In settled action, Shoemaker is especially effective at working in two-man game action. His ability to read the opposing defensive duo and then correctly decide whether to shoot or feed is impressive. Shoemaker has also demonstrated that he can bully a defender until he gets to his shooting spots. As an attackman, Shoemaker is comfortable initiating from anywhere on the field. In 2025, Shoemaker recorded 59 goals to go along with 26 assists and was a 2nd Team All-East Penn Conference selection.

Shoemaker is an athletic, downhill-style midfielder who excels at making plays while at full speed. When he is on the run, Shoemaker can unleash rockets with either hand and can draw the defense then move the ball to an open teammate. In settled action, Shoemaker makes excellent use of screens to get himself free for a shot. He also can patiently back down a defender until he gets to his preferred shooting spots. It should be noted that Shoemaker is comfortable playing attack too. In 2024 Shoemaker posted 28 goals and 17 assists. He registered five games where he scored three or more goals. Plus, Shoemaker dabbled with face-offs and won 50% of his draws. Those stats earned him a 2nd Team All-East Penn Conference nod.
