JD Farkas Video Breakdown

Coaches Comments: 

• “JD's athleticism and grit are one of the many features that sets him apart from many other players in the 2022 class. He plays very big, and has the ability to run by most players as well as be a physical force on defense, making him the ultimate two way midfielder. His speed and first 3 steps are certainly in the top percentile in the 2022 class and he is used as our primary clearing midfielder, by giving him the freedom to run and make plays happen in the open field. He is also one of our top guys in ground balls each game, which is something that is very difficult to teach. JD carries with him the intangibles that you want in any high level lacrosse player, which keeps him on the field with significant playing time on a team of all-star caliber players. “ - Keith Lizzi (Club Coach)
  
• “I am writing on behalf of JD Farkas, a very talented two-way midfielder whom I have had the great privilege of coaching for the last three years. JD is highly coachable and has an unmatched work ethic that inspires and elevated the play of his teammates. Even as a junior, JD is a top recruit and has already received roster spots to play at top tier Division I and III programs. JD is a superior student-athlete and one of the best players in NJ; he is going to be a problem for every opposing team his high school team faces this spring. I look forward to seeing JD lead this year as a captain, and I know he is going to have an All-American season. “ - Greg Morrissey (HS Coach)
