Bennett Oess '18 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play D1 lacrosse.  What makes me unique is my passion and a positive energy that I bring within my game. I don't like to focus on making excuses. I gain nothing from getting frustrated or angry. I refuse to take things personally, let them go, learn from them, and become the best version of myself. 

I played varsity all 4 years of high school leading in assists and have always been a top scorer. My team made it to the Final Four in 2017 and in 2016. We also were region/area champs for the first time last year.  I am 6' 3" tall and my weight is 190 lbs.  I find myself enjoying to workout daily and getting stronger.

I've been playing lacrosse for 10 years and developed a Lacrosse IQ. I have played travel club lacrosse for LB3/ Thunder / Team Crease/Atlanta Empire during Junior high and High school. I have had former D1 lacrosse coaches from age 9 until now and the secret is D1 coaching. 

Last summer, I was invited to Ohio State's top 200 prospect camp and was fortunate enough to make the All-Star team and tally a goal in the All Star game. Previously, I was a Brine All American and represented Team Georgia.

I have also been a lacrosse referee for the past 3 years which helps with my knowledge of the game.

I am proud that I am going to a private "College prep" catholic high school called Blessed Trinity.  I have a 3.4 GPA and a 28 on ACT.  Playing lacrosse and school work will not be an issue in college.
