Best has a complete skill set that puts him in the elite conversation for the 2028 class. He has top-end speed, quick change of direction, and the nimbleness to absorb contact. He’s one of those rare players whose size works to his advantage — smaller, but tough to get your hands on. When defenders try to play him physically, he either runs past them or stops on a dime to shake them. Once he gets that step, he shows the next layer of his game. Best has a compact, fundamental release that’s effective both on the run and with his feet set, and he can place it wherever he wants. From X, he sees the field well and punishes defenses that slide early. Off the ball, he’s just as dangerous—constantly finding seams and getting his shot off before goalies or defenders can react.

Wyatt Best is a dynamic right-handed midfielder with elite speed and a polished all-around offensive game. A varsity starter at Hackley as a freshman, Best earned First Team All-League honors after posting an impressive 35 goals and 10 assists. He’s a constant first-line presence who thrives in transition and can score on the run with ease. While his athleticism allows him to create separation against any matchup, it’s his lacrosse IQ and unselfishness that elevate his game, always ready to make the smart feed when the slide comes. Best is a true dual threat who can initiate, finish, and quarterback from the midfield with poise beyond his years.
