Evan Torris '17 Recruiting Profile

I picked up a lacrosse stick for the first time five years ago while I played soccer, football, and running track. Despite the enjoyment I received from the other sports, I instantly fell in love with lacrosse. I value the hard work and dedication sports require. As a freshman, I became familiar with the idea of persistence, perseverance, and commitment because of the time I put into the sport so I could make varsity. Over the course of the year I continued to learn lessons in time management as I balanced my straight A's with being a varsity starter on the lacrosse team. During the first half of my sophomore year I continued to dedicate my time as I earned a letter in cross country and continued to have straight A’s. I started on the varsity lacrosse team again but brought my knowledge from the previous year to work harder and earn the Offensive Player of the Year award while continuing to maintain an A average. The intangible skills I learned from my hard work helped me to better myself as a person and as a player. 
In college I hope to find a program that can offer a great fit for me academically as well as athletically. I know that through my current experience and future expectations I will be able to positively impact a university's lacrosse program. I offer my time, dedication, and commitment to any program that can make me the better person and player I would like to become.
