Cole Gellatly '19 Recruiting Profile

I’m an attackman, Class of 2019, from Bloomfield Hills, MI with over 9 years of playing lacrosse.  My coaches have told me I have soft hands, am a strong finisher, possess a very high Lax IQ, and am tough as nails.

I was a starter on both the Brother Rice Catholic High School Varsity Orange and JV teams.  I was the leading goal scorer with 44 goals and 11 assists in 13 games during my 2017 sophomore season on Varsity Orange.  We finished the season with a record of 12-1, our only loss was to Victor, NY.  During my 2016 freshman season, we finished as Catholic League JV champs going undefeated.  In addition to lacrosse, I also ran for the Brother Rice Varsity Cross Country team, earning varsity letters my freshman and sophomore years.  The cross country team finished 3^rd in the state of Michigan in 2016.  My senior year I co-founded the Brother Rice Mountain Biking Team and finished our inaugural season as the top rider on the varsity team.

I currently have a 3.33 GPA (unweighted) and have been on the A/B Honor Roll each quarter.  

My personal motto is “No Shortcuts.”  I am seeking a school where I can be challenged and succeed in the classroom.  I am looking to become part of a top lacrosse program where I can play at the highest level possible and make a contribution.  I chose Brother Rice for those reasons. 

My ideal college lacrosse experience is one where I am able to make a substantial contribution to achieving the team's goals during my years playing.  I am willing to do the work necessary.  I am one of the first to practices and always the last to leave.  In my spare time, I’m putting in the extra work shooting, conditioning, etc.  I balance athletics with academics and service to my community.  I know what I need to do to achieve my dreams of playing lacrosse in college and have a successful career beyond college while giving back to the sport I love.
