Matthew Young '18 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to find a college or university where I feel comfortable, have faith in the academic program, and where I can play lacrosse.  I want to find a school where I will thrive academically, socially, and athletically and know that if lacrosse doesn't work out the way I hope, I will still be happy to be a part of that school.  I don't want to just be part of a college lacrosse team, I want to contribute to the program on a daily basis. 

I have many strengths that would benefit a lacrosse program.  I have both size (6' 5") and speed.  I have played midfield for 10 years, can face off, and this year played defensive middie for my high school team because that's where they needed me most.  I am a three sport athlete playing varsity football and varsity basketball throughout high school and have learned the importance of balancing my time between academics, athletics, family, and friends.
