About Zuva
Expert Analysis
Michael Campanile | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Zuva is shaping up to be one of the hottest commodities in the 2028 class when it comes to faceoff specialists. He’s dominated every event I’ve seen him at this fall—Terp Classic, NAL, and now the IMLCA Players Summit—and he hasn’t slowed down once. When you’re evaluating FOGOs, the first thing you look at is hand speed, and Zuva’s are about as fast as it gets. He’s the first one to the clamp almost every time. If he lines up at the X, odds are he’s winning the clamp and popping it forward. Once he does, he reads the defense really well. If nobody slides, he’ll happily stick it—he’s scored plenty of times this fall.
When he doesn’t go forward, he’s still incredibly reliable. His exits are clean, he’s a junkyard dog on 50/50s, and he handles pressure without panicking. And on the rare occasion he doesn’t win the clamp outright, he’s got a deep bag of counters and leans on his wrestling background for ground control. At this point, Zuva has a legitimate case as the top faceoff specialist in the 2028 class.
