FCA boasts some of the most talented players in the country and one of the most impressive lists of college commitments. Daniel Kelly, the 6th-ranked attackman in the class by Inside Lacrosse, plays harder than anyone coach Brian Kelly has ever seen. He’s joined in the position group by Harmeyer, who Kelly pointed out as one of the most important cogs in their offensive machine. Herbert, IL’s top-ranked midfielder, is a do-it-all player who can feed among the best middies in the nation and play alongside Daniel Kelly in Chapel Hill. With Yale commit Jack Stuzin, IL’s No. 1 defenseman, out for the summer season, Halpert will take on a larger role in FCA’s tight defensive scheme. In their cage are a pair of goalies that, despite being slightly undersized, have excelled of late. There’s Jackson Marshall (committed to Maryland), the third-ranked goalie in the 2020 class by IL, and Kevin Ellington, an excellent stopper that Kelly expects will find a college fit this summer.
