Expert Analysis
Ty Xanders | Prep Lacrosse Scout
This energetic and quick-handed lefty was the lone sophomore to garner MSLCA ‘teamer’ honors in 2024, tabbed as the All-State Public School First Team keeper after helping undefeated Urbana to a 4A state title. Listed at 150 pounds, Thayer is light on his feet between the pipes and makes a habit out of stoning would-be goal-scorers in tight. At the annual IL ID Experience in late October, I was impressed by his ability to lead the defense and orchestrate the clearing game with confidence, skills that distinguish goalies at individual showcases. College programs seeking a ’26 goalie should keep an eye on this Frederick native, who already boasts a terrific body of work: a 72% save rate and an average of just 3.15 goals allowed per game for the 20-0 Hawks.
