Jerry Dietz '13 Recruiting Profile

I play lacrosse for Brother Rice High School and coach Rob Ambrose in Bloomfield Hills Michigan. I am a 6'4" 215 lb attack/midfielder. I am a starter and currently play attack in the crease but I am comfortable on the wing or at midfielder. I ended the season with a 1.8 goals/game average. I was named 2012 Academic All-State and All Regional. I was recently selected to the All-Star Game at Top 205 and the All-Star Game at University of Michigan's Wolverine War Camp. My strengths are my quick, hard shot and ability to get to the goal. I have very good size, strength and speed.I am good on the ground balls and I am very intimidating and effective in the ride game. We have a very talented team this year. Brother Rice has been ranked as high as 21st in the Nation by Inside lacrosse /Under Armour and #1 in the Midwest. We played a very competitive schedule against teams such as Culver Academy, Hill Academy, Hamburg, Loyola Chicago, Bishop Timon, Archbishop Moeller, etc. We won the 2012 Michigan Catholic League Championship and we won the 2012 Michigan Class A Div I State Championship. That's the 8th consecutive State Championship for Brother Rice. We ended the season 20-2. I am looking for a university with a competitive lacrosse program as well as an excellent academic reputation. I am planning on possibly attending graduate school afterwards. I currently have a 3.8 GPA and scored a 32 on the ACT. I am not sure yet of my direction of study, perhaps dentistry or law. I do not have a preference of the location or size of the school. I have family all over the country and have no specific ties to the Midwest. I want to play at the highest level and be competitive. I know that it will be hard work but I want to challenge myself. I also enjoy the camaraderie of being on a team and a part of something that is successful. I believe my best fit would be at the D-1 level but I am also open minded to learn of other possibilities. I just returned from Top 205 East (Rising Seniors)June 18-21 Towson University and Wolverine War Camp in Ann Arbor where I was selected to the All-Star Games at both events. . I am also scheduled to attend the Brine Shootout July 8-11 UMBC Maryland ( Black Grizzlies), Cherry Bomb July 27-29, Traverse City Michigan ( Black Grizzlies).
