5 Lacrosse Recruits You NEED to Watch This Week:

Ava Fossati, Attack (2026) - Marlborough School, CA (Highlight Reel)

This might be the best dodger in high school lacrosse, and I know that’s a bold statement. 

The 5’8 California native has incredible footwork, and she’s able to pick apart defenses and make them pay. 

Her split dodge is elite, but she’s also not afraid to throw a behind the back or backhanded pass. 

Fossati is definitely representing the West Coast lacrosse scene, and I’m excited to see her game develop. 

Emma Tuttle, Attack (2026) - Morristown, NJ - (Highlight Reel)

This lefty from New Jersey can score the ball with her eyes closed, and she’s the complete dual threat on offense: if you play her as a passer and get on her hands, she’ll run right by you. If you give her space, she’s not afraid to pick you apart with assists. 

If she can keep her play up, I expect big things to come for her this year. 

Rylee Rath, Midfield (2026) - Saylorsburg, PA (Highlight Reel)

It’s one thing to be elite at offense OR defense, but it’s another level when you’re just as good at both. 

Rylee Rath can make plays all over the field: she’s excellent on the draws, will matchup with you on defense, or take the ball on offense and score. 

Lacrosse analysts love her game because of her versatility, and I think any team would love to have her since they can put her anywhere on the field. 

Ella Gould, Midfield (2026) - Nyack, NY (Highlight Reel)

The 5’7 middie from New York makes a living from up top, using her elite split dodge to create space and blast a shot down the alley. 

When defenses start to catch on to her shooting ability, she scans the field and can finds wide open players for easy goals. 

You can tell that she makes every player around her better, and it will be fun to watch what kind of numbers she puts up in her sophomore year of high school lacrosse. 

Kate Atkinson, Attack/Midfield (2026) - Northport, NY (Highlight Reel)

Kate is a pure goal scorer, and she has the stats to back it up. 

She led all of Long Island freshmen in points with 81, which is a point total most seniors would be thrilled about. 

She’s been on the varisty team since 8th grade, and she has plenty of experience against some of the top talent in the country. 

I expect big things out of Atkinson in her third year of varsity lacrosse. 

Which lacrosse recruits should I cover next?

A Few Notes:

1. I’m reacting to highlight reels - which only show me the best moments from a player’s games. These videos don’t show us a complete picture, and we understand that.

2. This is purely for fun - we understand there are a ton of talented players still to be covered. Please nominate them!

See you next time!
