Personal Statement

I am a 2022 FOS/MID committed to playing lacrosse in college. I am a 2x US Lacrosse Academic All American, FHS Valedictorian, National Merit Finalist and was nationally recognized for a perfect 36 ACT composite score. In addition, I play the snare drum on one of the top 20 high school marching bands in the nation. Playing the percussion has helped me develop exceptional hand speed, timing, and core/wrist strength.

My combined Junior and Senior year high school varsity statistics are 508 face off wins, 75% winning percentage, 309 ground balls and 10 goals on 20 shots. I was selected to the Under Armour All-America "Call Back Game", played in the "Junior Spotlight Showcase" on Championship Weekend, and was named "Player That Impressed" by the coaches at “UA Call Back Academy.”

At the face off X, I win with hand speed, technique, communication with my wings, unpredictability on exits and a tactical approach to each competitor. I will be attending Princeton University in the Fall and will walk on to the 6-time National Champion Princeton Tigers Men’s Lacrosse Team! GO TIGERS!!
