When you hear coaches say words like “potential” and “ceiling,” – they’re talking about players like Thomas Regan Thomas Regan 6'4" | 210 lbs | M/SSDM | Left Hand Taft School | 2028 #47 Nation CT . Listed as a midfielder, he can actually play all over the field. We saw Regan’s Taft teammate Jake Gashi commit to UNC early in the window because he blossomed as a scorer this summer. Regan had a similar evolution, turning his wing play and transition ability into key strengths. You don’t see a ton of players with Regan’s size topping out the same effort meter the way he does. He is a true two-way midfielder who should thrive in those crucial moments between the boxes as the shot clock ticks away. Another amazing commitment from the Penn coaching staff.

In my notes from the Best in Class event, I described Regan’s dodges as slippery, which is not something I usually say about midfielders of his size. He has a knack for slipping past showing defenders to get to the middle of the field for quality shots, and that showed up when he scored four goals in the two games I watched on day one. He also added an assist after getting to the middle off a pick and hitting the slip to the cage. On tape, the lefty shows solid right-handed scoring ability, gets a ton of velocity on his step-down shot, and plays well on both ends of the field.
