NXT All-American: Unsigned 27s who Stole the Show

Nineteen different clubs from the 2027 class met this weekend, June 13 and 14, in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, for the NXT All-American Tournament in what was a weekend of high-level lacrosse from start to finish. These few days once again proved there is plenty of uncommitted talent in the rising senior class still waiting to find a home for the next four years.   College coaches — although the 2028 recruiting opening is just around the corner, do not forget about these 2027s. Here is a detailed look at five of them, uncommitted 2027s who had standout weekends at The Proving Grounds.    I was watching Jordan Comer play and pulled out my phone to check her commit status — and was shocked to see she is still available. Comer is a strong goalie who, despite a smaller frame, covers the cage well. She is aggressive between the pipes, stepping out from the goal line to meet driving players at the crease and alter the shot. She had a particularly impressive leaping save, doing just that, denying an opposing player who tried to dump one over her head. On clears, she prefers to roll the ball out rather than launch it downfield, and she does a nice job setting up the offense in transition despite the absence of a longer clear.     I don't see [player_tooltip player_id='73944' first='Emma' last='Wyckoff'] staying uncommitted for long. A lengthy attack who works a lot at "X," Wyckoff has the size to be a solid attack at the next level. She is patient behind the crease with the ball in her stick, and has the height to get passes over her cage and the defender in front of the goal for easy shots. She has solid footwork that allows her to come around with a crease roll and create her own opportunities offensively, and she possesses the height advantage when coming around to drop it in over her defender and the goalie for easy looks. Her height makes her a dangerous player on the ride, and she can deflect and intercept balls from all over the field with her length.   She has been a dynamic scorer not only in high school lacrosse, but now as well in the early weeks in club lacrosse. A high-level program will see her play this summer and almost certainly make the offer on the spot.     From Lebanon, Pennsylvania, [player_tooltip player_id='73914' first='Alanah' last='Snavely'] and the Xtreme 2027 Club had about as good a weekend as they could ask for. Xtreme took home the championship in the 2027 classification, and Snavely, a rising senior at Cedar Crest High School, played a big part in delivering that title.   Snavely is a relentless defender on the ride — if her team missed a shot and the goalie secured it, she was right there to apply pressure before the clear could even start. She forced a handful of key turnovers this weekend as a result and was just as instrumental with the ball in her stick. She has a solid shot from the eight-meter mark and loves to find soft spots there to set up her release. The ball leaves her stick in one swift motion, the second it arrives on the feed.     [player_tooltip player_id='73945' first='McKenzie' last='English'] is another uncommitted rising senior from New Jersey. A strong, physical defender, English does a solid job holding down the back end, where her twin sister, Molly English, is usually found between the pipes. She is a vocal defender who does a nice job alerting her team to what she sees. She especially impressed this weekend in the transition game, standing her ground in 3v2 scenarios more than once.   She is still a little raw defensively with her footwork and ground balls, but makes up for it with tenacious defense that throws opposing offenses off their game plan.   A college program looking to bolster its back end could land both English sisters for the next four years, which seems ideal given how well the two work together.     Another netminder who had a strong weekend in Conshohocken, [player_tooltip player_id='73954' first='Breanna' last='Sheridan'] is a goalie from the class of 2027 who surprisingly remains uncommitted. The 5'7" goalie from Wantagh, New York, is a player with rising stock ahead of her senior year.   She impressed with her ability to stay with the ball during long offensive sets, denying second and third looks at the cage off her deflections. She can drop to a knee quickly to stop bouncers and low shots, and she does not panic when she comes up with the ball under pressure at the crease. She is poised, taking her time to find a good outlet pass for her team. Her height allows her to stop drop-in shots from over the top with ease, and she moves well overall for a taller goalie.
